Welcome to the BiggerPockets community! 

No matter where you stand in your real estate investing journey, BiggerPockets is the ultimate resource for all of your investing needs. I’d suggest starting out by networking with as many other investors as possible and be an active participant in the forums.

If you haven’t already subscribed to the BiggerPockets podcasts, do that ASAP. Look for meet ups in your area (virtual), attend free webinars, start reading as much as possible on any and all topics related to investing and real estate. Use the forums to help you search for the answers to all of your questions. If you can’t find your answers, then create your own post!

Feel free to DM me with any questions.

Good luck and get educated!

In my opinion, I prefer a local lender that actually knows my market and can be there (at the same time zone) when I need anything. Check out the network tab here on BP for some advice on local lenders/agents that might be able to help you out.

Welcome back! I'm always down to connect with new investors/realtors!

Welcome to the community! I'd 100% recommend looking into local meet ups in Arkansas via Facebook or Meetup. Nothing better than meeting people in person and learning together!

Good luck!

Welcome to the community! When your looking in such hot markets like Austin, you really have to get creative and think outside of the box. Everyone wants that perfect multi-family situation but it's not always realistic or even the best choice. Depending on your comfort level, a rent by the room strategy or finding a single family house that could be converted into two living spaces might be a good option if you are set on Austin. 

Definitely keep an open mind and be ready to make some sacrifices for a few years.

Good luck!

Depending on the lender you work with, you might be surprised what your budget may actually be. Colorado Springs is definitely up and coming. You could also look into cities north of Denver i.e. Loveland, Greeley, Longmont (where I am at) or even Fort Collins. Again its going to really depend on your strategy and how you plan on financing. 

A couple other tips to think about. Colorado has multiple down payment assistance programs which could be a big factor in your budget and what you can afford. Feel free to PM me if you have more specific questions or want me to provide a few examples to help you out. 

Cheers!

Welcome to BP! I'd recommend setting up a Meetup account. Plenty of REI groups out there between Meetup and FB Groups.

Good luck out there!

Welcome to the BiggerPockets community! 

I got on this path after grinding as an elementary school teacher for five years. After all those years of scraping by, I knew if I ever wanted to truly get ahead and build a life of freedom and abundance I needed to find a new path.

Welcome to BP! I'd definitely recommend finding an investor friendly lender. You'd be amazed at the magic that an investor focused lender can work in securing financing for your investments!
