Newb wanting to learn/network/work in real estate

[Chris Silvas]

I graduated college with a finance degree not too long ago. I just moved to the Houston area and recently got a job at a bank as a lending assistant. Even though I now have a good understanding of the analysis and qualifications that are required (and the fact that I'm about to get promoted to full-time lender), I really want to get into real estate.

My goals are to create positive cash flow from real estate (buy and hold, foreclosures, tax deeds, etc.)

I've been researching and reading for a little while now, but still have a lot that I want to read.

My main short-term goal is basically to just get in touch with the right people. Talk, network, meet, learn.

So if anyone in the area would like to network or offer opportunities, please feel free to contact me. I don't mind working with investors, etc and allowing them to keep most of the profits on investing deals as long as I'm learning. To me, the knowledge is far more valuable.
