Starting new in Texas
I recently moved here from NJ where I had a RE license. I want to eventually get into commercial property. I have no practical experience other than my own home so I know some of the how's and why's but no money to start with.
I think to start small with some wholesaling to get the experience and some cash, then step up to some commercial properties.
Would like to find a mentor and I am willing to do the legwork to make it happen and of course any and all constructive criticism, information, good jokes appreciated.
Mark

Go to your local REIA. Talk to a few folks until you find someone that clearly knows what they are doing and is doing it full time. Offer to work for them for next to nothing in return for getting to learn the ropes. Best way to get a feel for this business quickly.
