Rookie Investor in San Antonio
Hey y'all!
This is my first post on BP, even though I've been on it for a while, just watching and learning, so I wanted to introduce myself and, hopefully find some real estate buddies.
A bit about us...
My wife and I are pastors here in San Antonio and, after many years of (me) talking about it, we have gotten 100% on the same page about investing and are beginning our journey! We've had a lot of fun these last months visioning and working out our business plan and reading SO many books (not to mention all the podcasts, amiright?) and learning about our local market and the surrounding areas.
Our ultimate goal is to BRRRR Section 8 rentals (much like Dr. Joe Asamoah does up in DC), as we have a real desire to provide safe, high quality housing to deserving families who wouldn't have a chance to live there otherwise, and so I've been doing plenty of research recently to see if it will work in SA. In the meantime, we've been closing in on trying to do a flip for our first deal to gain experience with rehabbing.
Anyways, I've got a million newbie questions that I look forward to bringing up on the forums over the next several months/years/decades, and we're looking to build a great team in these next few months but, honestly, the biggest thing I'd like to ask all you wonderful people on BP right now is about networking.
I just went to my first RE meetup (virtual) the other night, the one run by Rick Pozos (Real Estate Group of SA on meetup) and it was really great to get to chat with other investors and see that this stuff is something that real people do. So, if you know of any other RE networking events/groups that you'd recommend just for building relationships and learning (I've also hear that ALAMO is a good one), please let me know! My wife has stressed the importance of me finding someone ELSE to talk to about real estate several times now, haha.
I don't know exactly what I have to offer at the moment, but please do reach out if you're looking for a passionate person who doesn't know what they're doing to talk real estate with, or if you have any comments/recommendations/discouragements/whatever!
Thanks so much!
