Sorry to hear you are going through a rough time. Was is your problem with technology? I am an IT Director possibly I can point you in the right direction and get you over the hump.

 I am just working with a CRM called Podio, and have never known anything about programming. Also integrating other things like Zapier to connect apps to podio. It is just a very long learning curve for me. Do you have any experience with these?

 I don't but I was just listening to one of the podcasts today that mentioned podio. I planned on looking into it.

Why not invest in Texas? I am new here, but i keep hearing and reading that Texas is a great place to invest. Then you are near your investments.

I am not 100 percent sure yet but I am leaning towards Buy and Hold and possibly some flipping later on, after i get some cash flow coming in. I think those will fit into my skill set the best.

Thanks

Welcome Curtis

I am also a newbie from Lubbock. Since finding BP i cant get enough. I listen to the podcast to and from work or any other time I get in the car, attend the webinars and read on the site constantly. 

Good luck

Hello Everyone

I am in the very early stages of learning REI. I haven't even finished reading the beginners guide yet. I have been doing lots of reading and looking at many home sale websites and trying to get a grasp on the whole thing and what I would like to focus on. I am leaning towards Buy and Hold and possible some Flipping. While browsing home for sales site I came across a house that is going up for government auction that has a viewing a week from this Sunday. I am thinking of going to check it out and seeing if I can learn anything. I have no interest in bidding on the house, I just want to use it as a learning experience. Does anyone have any suggestions on things to focus on so I get the most out of this experience?
