Looking to learn! Will offer anything I can in exchange!

I am a new and hungry investor looking to soak up as much knowledge as I can from the greatest there are in the area! Would love to maybe tag along on your reno on a flip or buy & hold, or just sit and grab some lunch and talk about financing! I’m in the SE side of the Houston area but can travel whenever I don’t work at my W-2 job. 

I’ve come to realize that I can read all I want, but getting out there and talking to others who have already done it are going to be most benefitial. 

So, I am offering ANYTHING I can in exchange for knowledge, wisdom, and some insight. I’m not a contrustion buff, but Im slightly handy and in need of learning how to preform sweat equity! I can run numbers for some deals for you, or maybe go searching for some leads for you. Or if you want me to just buy you lunch, I’d love to do that lol!

I really want to be prepared, learn all the terms, and truly understand all the routes I can take as an investor. I don't understand mortgages, PMI/PITI or how ARMs work or even loans! I know vocabulary but actually understanding how these things work, and how I can make deals work, is where I am asking for help. I also need to fully understand the process of buying a property/selling.

Thank you guys and I’m terribly sorry for the long post!

Edit: I’ve realized a lot of people/companies promise help but then somehow want money in exchange for knowledge. I’m not a wealthy person, and I don’t have a nice job, so going a route where I can exchange my own time, knowledge and efforts is the only way I can afford to go at this moment in my life.

Find a local REI group. Go to meetings.

Look around neighborhoods close to where you live where people rent. Find a cheap house, buy it, fix it up a little, rent it. a cheap house. That's all you have to know.
