Market Research In My City

Hello, BP family. I hope this message finds you well. I'm just getting started in REI and before I make any major moves, I know I need a bit more education all around, but especially on my market. So, if you could indulge me for a bit, I have a few questions.

Thanks in advance for all tips, tricks, and advice. 

My Markert is San Antonio, TX. 

How does one go about learning about their market? 

What are some of the key factors to know and understand?

Where/Who should I network within my City?

I'm new, does it matter that I have no authority or experience? 

Again, thanks for any advice and I can't wait until I can reciprocate my knowledge.

I am a huge fan of networking. You'll learn a ton. Do it regularly. Try the big groups like Alamo REIA and the smaller meetups. My friend @Rick Pozos has a local meetup.  You can learn be being around those doing what you want to do.  

Best of luck,

Will
