Newbie Investor

[Aacoa Glaspie]

Hello! I am a newbie looking to close my first deal. After some searching around I found and put in an offer on a foreclosure. Currently it has multiple offers and the bank/owner is asking for our best and highest offer. Hoping to get some advice from someone more experienced in foreclosure buying and real estate investing overall. I am also taking classes for a Texas real estate license. I had been previously licensed in NYC. What a world of difference!?!? I am looking to buy and hold properties with enough equity in them to help fund the purchase and/or repair of a duplex or other multi-family property. Also looking to network with people in all facets of the real estate industry, learn, grow, help and support in any way that I can. Thanks for taking the time to read and much success in all ventures.
