Looking 4 Mentor/Coach in Houston, TX

Hey BP Fam, I am a new investor in Houston, TX, looking to get started on the right foot. 

I have experience in rentals but that was from over 10 years ago in a completely different city, state. I did a wholesale deal (my first one) within the last 5 years but was also in a different city and state.

I have only been in Houston for just over 5 years and I believe I know the market somewhat.

My fiance is a new realtor for kw, which she is helping me obtain financing currently. I am preapproved for up to $130k, with a 640 fico score. My savings is under $5000, and I have a fair amount of money available on my credit cards. I work full time and right now my expenses equal about 85-90% of my income.

My goal is to purchase my first buy and hold property before Feb 2017, and purchase my next one 6-8 months later. Each year after the goal is to double up through refinance and equity. Once I build my capital up I would like to work on my first flip.

Thats where I am in a nutshell. I really hope to find someone that is as serious and passionate about real estate and interested in my success as I am. Someone who really focuses on building systems and structure in a business.

I am very driven and motivated, I  just need the proper guidance to get started in the right direction to help build my portfolio into a 6-figure plus a month well oiled machine. 

Please take this discussion very serious as I will take the coaching, I am not here to waste anyones time nor my own.

Thanks BP Fam for those that understand my vision and are moved in helping a newbie accomplish success and greatness to hopefully one day pay forward!
