I just moved to Waco, Texas area. I have been learning a lot about real estate investing for a year or so. I want to take the leap to get my first deal . I would like to know if there are any meet ups in this area for BiggerPockets or any investors that would like to meet up with me? I have the vision of having Airbnb business. I just need to take the action. I hope I can meet y’all soon.

I have been learning everything I can about real estate investing. But I feel like that I could use a partner to really experience investing in real estate before I jump in by myself . What are some ways to find a partner ?

@Charles Carillo looking for private money.

I am still just starting out . I am a new investor trying to get my first deal. How do you get pass the nerves and the scaredy-cat of yourself of asking people to borrow private money? It’s kinda hard for me to do so. To talk to people about borrowing money is still a new concept for me . What are some good strategies of having finding private money? And any other thoughts?

@Chris Szepessy 33 % for three ways . Maybe , I will ask my mom . Thanks that’s a good idea.

Where is the best places to find money for a small loan for land ? I need about 33 k for the land . Is there other things I need to pay for to buy land In Texas? Is 7 acres in Reagan Texas a good deal for 33k a good deal? And what are some good tactics to talk down the price ? What other ideas to pay for the land?

I am trying to buy this land from my family. My grandfather owned it and now my mom, uncle and Aunt owns it. I have lots ideas to make this land, a small business for my family. My mom is trying to get me good deal but my uncle is the main one to talk to . Which it seems my uncle and aunt , want to sell it soon ? They don’t want to do seller finance . They just all want to sell the land as soon as possible. I think they are giving me the first dibs on the land . What do y’all think?

@Joe Alford thanks for the tip on hipcamp.
