Welcome to BP!  There are quite a few duplexes near Randolph AFB so if you went the duplex route you could easily get a military tenant on the other side.  I manage several properties on that side of town.  Flipping is a full-time job so if thats the route you want to take be sure you have all the resources in place.  Reach out if I can be of any assistance, and best of luck to you.

My pleasure.  Like other professionals on here, I joined this site to not only learn but to share my knowledge and skills with others. Let me know if I can do anything to assist you. 

Mohammed, I have not attended any of these meetings that have a large price tag associated, but I would advise you to take the time to seek mentorship from people here on the forums. The whole purpose of Bigger Pockets is to share information between people. What you will pay for in the class you can learn here for free. The deals you are looking to find can be found by aligning with a local real estate agent for free. Take the time to truly tap into this great resource we call Bigger Pockets before spending money that could go towards investing. Please reach out if you have any other questions. I wish you the best on your investments.

Welcome Ian, and as we are approaching Veteran's day thank you for your service.   You have come to the right place to learn and meet many great people.  I wish you the best on your journey, and am happy to assist you should you need anything.

Chuck,

I have worked with the owner of Foundation King in the past.  Don't know if you have used them or not.   I'll email you the contact info if you'd like.

Joseph,  

Getting your license would not be a bad idea in my opinion, primarily because you aren't working anymore but also so you can learn more about real estate in general.  

In the meantime, developing a working relationship with a local agent will help you see whats available on MLS. I currently work with several investors who will locate properties and then I will assist them with getting the info and placing offers. There are several agents on BP I'm sure who may be able to offer similar assistance. While good properties are hard to come by at times, patience is truly the key when doing investing. The deal has to make sense based upon what your goals are. If you haven't established what you want to achieve yet, that's the first thing to do.

As Mohammad suggested earlier, working with a mentor (plenty to be found at our local REIAs) would be a great strategy as well.

Best of luck.

Hello Joseph, Are you wanting to get into Real Estate as in become an agent, or go deeper in the investing world? I know there have been some great books written by bigger pockets members regarding the transition from full time employment to investing. Can you detail what you would like to do exactly? I think then everyone could give you a more precise answer.

Hello Linda, If you have a desire to work with a Realtor, please reach out. I'd be happy to assist.

Hello Niklas,

I am happy to help answer any questions and guide you in the right direction if I can.  Feel free to reach out.

Welcome Davin.  It's always nice to see other professionals on the board that can offer guidance to others.
