Jonathan Twombly I think that many folks see no immediate returns on their efforts, so the level of effort diminishes over time, and we lose out on the critical mass that is needed to really begin to see the fruits of our labor (and efforts) start to show themselves in marketing and RE investing as a whole...so the point about consistently feeding the machine is a big one. Which podcasts have you been on?

Dylan B. My point exactly. My wife DEFINITELY wouldn't go for it now but that's what I would do if I could all over again.

Brian Woods Number 3, Yes! Analysis Paralysis probably prevents 99% of would-be investors from ever investing! That's a good one

Jonathan Twombly What are your most effective marketing methods in your market?

That's great Adam W. I like the Path of Progress comment...how are you looking to spot that Path?

If you could go back 10 years, what would you tell your 10-year-younger self about RE investing that you would think would be the most helpful? Here's the advice I would DEFINITELY give myself: "House-hack ASAP before buying any other piece of real estate, investment or otherwise. I think house-hacking may be the best way for the majority of people to get started in real estate investing. Obtain an FHA loan, put as little as 3.5% down, live in one unit (cheaply) and rent out the other unit(s). Stash cash that you save by living cheaply and as below your means as possible, purchase additional units with that cash, and delay moving out of your house-hack as long as practicable" I'm interested in what the BP community has to share here.

Antoine Martel When you say outside of Houston, which area(s) are you talking about?

Adam W. apparently there is a Fort Bend RE Investor meetup coming up tomorrow evening in Sugar Land, I think. Vijaianand Thirnageswaram may be able to provide some insight around the meetup I believe.
