Completely understand BiggerPockets has been in business since 2004 so imagine the wealth of knowledge. It gets overwhelming but exciting for a new investor. But if your motivated you soon start to understand some of the lingo. You can also subscribe to the YouTube channel if your a visual person. The videos provide alot of slides and you get to hear personal experiences too. Some of their podcast are featured on the YouTube channel so its a quick shortcut.
So Texas is quite a good area if you are trying to get a bang for your buck compared to places like Seattle, LA etc those higher markets. You can really find houses here at good deals you just have to have an eye for it. Honestly still new so cant really go to in depth as the experienced investors go giving a better layout of the land and good places to look into
Im looking into multifamily properties and looking to adopt the buy and hold strategy. Im still learning but i pay attention to the forums and look at what experienced investors are looking at. If they keep mentioning one place more than once in similar posts then thats possibly a good place to be in and then i need to learn how to better analyze and learn more of the lingo from there. So honestly the answer to that question is im following the path of the successful to use to learn and then adopt my strategy. I personally stay in Arlington so i already know DFW side is a popular place so im looking into that area just need to narrow it down more. The investors keep talking about Temple, Belton and Killene, TX you can actually do a conventional loan and look into an FHA loan in another area just because of those places (good moderate housing prices) there are more creative strategies apart from what i mentioned.Anyways im a long typer. Hopefully that answers your questions. Thanks
