Hey, @Katie Neason welcome aboard. It sounds to me you are already on the road to meeting your goals. I believe with the help of fellow BP members you will meet your goal well before 2020. I am in Fort Worth and if I can be of help drop me a note.

Hello Paul, Welcome to Bigger Pockets. I am an investor in Fort Worth and wanted to suggest you check out podcast 75 on mobile home investing. You may be able to gain some valuable insights from this podcast and you might want to talk to the fellow who is doing the podcast that specializes in mobile homes. He happens to live in Austin.

Good luck to you in your real estate investments.

Welcome to bigger pockets @Anddy Barnes. Are you working looking primarily in Fort Worth for inventory or all of DFW?

She doesn't sound overly interested in doing business with you or she would do it.

My suggestion is to find a brokerage in your area and tell the broker what you are doing and ask she or he what agent that they have who is relatively new and appears to be very aggressive to succeed. If you work with that agent you may be critical to his or her success and they in turn will work very hard to get any business you might run there way.

Look at this as a learning process and as a possible $ raise and not a loss. I say this because I am sure you are going to establish a much tighter procedure in handling your business for the future and anytime you think about varying from that you will remember this lesson and not make the same mistake.

Welcome to DFW Chad. I am in Fort Worth and we are definitely in a sellers market right now. I wish you well in your new endeavors. If you make it to Fort Worth let me know and maybe we can get together and talk.

Congratulations! Hoping that this is just the beginning for greater things to come for you.

Welcome to BP Austin. I hope that you are able to gain the knowledge that you desire in a reasonable amount of time for you to declare that you are a real estate investor. Good luck in your pursuits.

The points that Gerald has made for you to follow are excellent. Be sure to pay to get the title pulled since if it is not clear you need to know what other encumbrances  might be on the property.

First let's establish one thing, if you have 6 properties and they are all cash flowing you are far from being a failure, which makes you a success. The guidelines are there to give you guidance in finding a niche and a comfort zone which it appears you have done. Can you do certain things to get a higher yield I don't know your particulars but I am sure the answer is yes. But do you currently own properties with a positive cash flow and appreciating value I would say yes and that is a great place to be. Keep it up and keep searching for ways to improve.
