New Investor in Texas

[Stephanie Cessna]

HI! My name is Stephanie and I am a new investor located in Granbury, TX. I have been an RN for 12 years and never thought that I would be interested in real estate investing, but here I am! I am married and have 3 beautiful kids. My husband builds houses and he has told me that if I can find a house to rehab, he will do the rest :) But finding that house has felt a bit overwhelming. Does anyone have favorite resources for finding good deals?  I have been listening to BP podcasts and webinars for a few months now and I am excited to start taking action toward my first deal. I am still learning how to systemize my process for finding deals and analyzing them. I have created a facebook ad campaign, but haven't found any leads through that avenue yet. I have loved bigger pockets for all of the great resources and the networking ability found here. I hope to meet more like minded people and continue learning all that I can about investing and creating a legacy and generational wealth for my family.

Welcome to BiggerPockets and the REI journey @Stephanie Cessna!  Developing you system is an ongoing process that will likely have several iterations.  Do not count out time as an important factor as well, especially if you are advertising for distressed or off-market deals.  At the start 6 months is common before landing anything.  Good luck!
