@Fredy Medina, I am from Houston as well. Being stressed is not the right mindset to start your real estate investing career. The first few deals will be an education and you will be learning from your mistakes and so you don't need additional stress apart from that. Try to connect with another local investor and see if you can offer something to help in return for mentorship and showing you the ropes. Also, BP has a ton of resources. Listen to their podcasts while you are out driving or sitting someplace with not much to do - it is an incredible wealth of information.
