It is something I have been looking into and could definitely see me and my Fiance doing it. 

@Jason Hirko Thank you for the feedback! I was also considering getting my real estate license, one for access to the MLS but I also feel that could be another way for me to get started in the industry. When you say "help others analyze deals" do you mean I could find and analyze deals and see if I could wholesale that deal to other investors?

@Ned Carey Thank you for the response Ned! Is it possible for you to go further in depth about "Knowing what a property is worth in good condition and knowing whether it is a good investment deal are two different evaluations."? In my head I feel like these two things can go hand in hand to where if I know what a property could be worth that will help me analyze an investment opportunity. I am still new though so I totally understand that I could be misunderstanding the process. 

@Mitch Messer Thanks Mitch! That is a great idea and will try to connect with other investors in my area to make it happen. Thank you for the feedback. 

Hi Everyone - 

I am a new investor in the Austin area looking to purchase my first property with my business partner within the next year or so. I am thinking of ways to start getting comfortable analyzing deals and assessing ARV. I was thinking about trying to become a part time real estate appraiser to help me with these skills.

Do you guys thing this would be a good path to follow or is there anything else you guys could recommend i do instead? 

A little about me. 

I graduated from Texas Tech University (Wreck' Em) in December 2018 with a BBA in Finance and currently work full time in accounting. Over the next year me and my business partner are focusing on getting accustomed to looking at real estate and analyzing properties. We are also focusing on getting our credit scores into the mid to high 700s to help us get the financing we need for our investments and of course savings as much of our salary as we can to help have some cash reserves if and when things don't go according to plan. We are looking into the BRRRR strategy to get us started in our careers.

Thank you in advance for all of your help. I am excited to be a part of this community and would love to connect with as many other investors and people in the real estate industry as possible.
