I second Guy's advice about the meetups - I've learned a lot from the groups here in Austin.

Call me paranoid, but I would consult a lawyer.

Welcome @Sonia Roberts !  I'm at agent here too and always looking to learn more :)

Welcome @Jim Robertson.  I'm in Austin and loving it.  This is a great site, and any time you have a question someone will be here to answer!

@John Gossett It is definitely difficult to find deals on the MLS here. That doesn't mean there aren't any though.

It would be hard for you to find a lot of equity + good cash flow as well.

I don't know what you mean by "target offers".  Are you saying to know how much to offer for a property?  You can just plug into a spreadsheet everything like mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, etc vs expected rent and you'll see how much yield you'll get depending on how much you pay for a house.  If it works, buy it!

@Cameron Vigil Of course - happy to help.

Hi Cameron,

Welcome to the forums!

For me it would depend on the spread between what an investment would make me and what you're paying for the loans.

i.e. if you are paying 2% on the student loans but making 8% on the investment, I'd invest and keep the difference

You can do part time, but making money is all about lead gen.  That either takes time i.e. door knocking, networking, etc, or money i.e. marketing.

@Curt Davis I'm definitely leaning that way now.  Finding the rehabber sounds like the tough part.

@Jassem A. I'd rather pay someone than have to be there to keep track of time etc.  That's what the GC is supposed to do right?
