 Hello Derek, unfortunately neither of us have construction business. 

 We would really be looking at a rental property.

I will be meeting with him this weekend and will definitely bring that up.

@Doug McLeod

@Chris Bounds

Thank you both very much as well. I will be looking more into Private Lending as I know very little about it right now. This is getting very exciting because I'm starting to realize that it is very possible for me to get started in REI.

Thanks again. 

@Joe Villeneuve

Thank you very much Joe..  You definitely have my mind racing and will be talking with him this evening

Welcome @Andrew Lisi

I'm in a very similar situation as you.  I have a wife, young daughter and another one on the way.  We are down here in Houston, TX and we're looking into starting out the "House-Hacking" way possibly.  I will keep an eye out for the responses you get.

Good Luck with everything

P.s. What books have you started to read?

Hello everyone,

I'm still in the early stages of gaining knowledge and trying to figure out what the best route for real estate is for me.  Well, I have a good friend of mine/college roommate/teammate that is also wanting to get into real estate.  This friend actually got drafted a couple of years back into the Major Leagues but is no longer playing ball anymore.  So he has a nice chunk of change to get started in a deal, he just has no credit what so ever and is really just wanting to partner.  Me, I have pretty good credit but the capital just isn't there.  He is a single individual and is still in school.  I am a married/father living in Houston with a F/T job. 

Should I partner with him to get things going? If so, i have no clue how that usually works?

Or should I just do it myself and start my own real estate portfolio for my family and I?

thank you very much

@James Wise

I agree with everyone about your Podcast today.  It was awesome and had great info.  It definitely helped me realize how important it is to be an active user here on BP.

@Jay Hinrichs

  Okay thank you very much

Hello there. Would you recommend NACA as a first time investment route?

Great information so far. I'm just hearing about NACA and starting to really research them and see if this would be a good route for a first time newbie investor like myself.
