Starting from the bottom. HELP PLEASE
Hi!
My name is Jesse, and I am currently living in The Bay Area,California. I lived in the lubbock area years ago and still have many friends who live there.
Ive never been a homeowner, let alone an investor. I have no idea where to start or who to talk to,in order to gain more knowledge on the subject of investing in real estate.
I do know that the housing market is much more affordable than here in the bay area,and that lubbock is a growing economy and I am interested in learning more if anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!
