All really great information, thanks for responding, I will keep ya posted. :-) Should be interesting. 

Ok, folks I just decided to DO IT and quit talking about it.  I bought the house for 30K and plan to rent it for around 600$ a month but it is need of some serious repairs.  What repair do you start with first?   The roof had a tree fall onto it, and subsequently the house has water damage and mold.   There is alot of information on this site, but thought I would ask a simple step by step on what repairs go before the others.  My plan was to start with the roof and the mold because I think that is the main problem, also wouldn't want to repair floors and sheetrock if the roof isn't fixed, right?  Just looking for a quick run down of the process and steps to fix it.  This property was bought "ASIS"  and I paid cash, so there is no inspections, etc.  Should I get an inspection, etc?  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Thanks @Shane Woods 

@Paul Ewing , there is one in @Hattie Dizmond 's post at Woodhaven Country Club in Fort Worth.  They meet on Saturday's at 9am.  Seems to be a good group.  

Thanks for posting a welcome (figured out the @thing :-)) 

Thanks Hattie, yes that is the one that I have been to (at Woodhaven).  Only been once but interested in this week's about Probate.  Thanks for all the tips and advice.

Thanks everybody for posting.

Thanks Jerry and Ronnie, I have been browsing around and I listen to several podcasts which is how I stumbled onto this site (thankfully).   I have money to invest just want to be a good steward and not do anything to lose it!  I see lots of bandit signs around here, and I have also gone to a couple of the local Real Estate clubs around.  So hopefully the education part won't take to long and I can start building a plan.  Thanks for the welcomes!! Look forward to learning all I can.

Hi folks (or Howdy)... I am a complete newbie and have recently quit my day job to jump right into something new and real estate is fascinating to me, so here I am.    I have no idea which niche to pick from the Ultimate Guide and I come from the Software Development field, so I hope that I don't fall into analysis paralysis, but I am here to learn, connect and get started doing something that I am excited about.  I am looking to build something for myself & family vs. working for "the man" and building something, for someone else in Corporate America.  

That's my story... (well a really really short version of it).
