Hi @Issac Moore - can I also connect with you about your VA setup? I'd like to learn more about how you have that setup.

 Oh really?  That's interesting, since so many people emphasize the need to have a list ready to know what types of properties they are interested in.  I would just not want to get in a position where I'm trying to shop a deal around and can't find a buyer.  Is there a forum here on BP for Investors in Dallas?

 Hi Bart,

Thanks for your feedback and well wishes.  I'm actually starting off by assigning contracts.  I felt more comfortable going that route since I do work a full-time job and want to slowly learn about the other exit strategies.  I've read Anson Young's book and I just order Brandon Turner's "No Money Down" books to start reading as well.  I'm starting my yellow letter campaign this week, so excited about that.  Now I'm getting busy trying to build my buyers list to have some investors to sell these properties to! :)  I see that you are in the Dallas area.  Do you mind if add you as a connection here?  Thanks!

 Hi Ryan,

Wanted to follow up with you.  Based on your advice, I did order Anson Young's book and read it.  It was a great book, thanks so much for that recommendation.  It really helped me get a good foundation and also helped me to select my target area to focus on.  I'm starting my yellow letter campaign this week and very excited to see where things go.  Thanks for the encouragement!

 Thanks, Dmitriy!

 Thanks, George!

 Hi Christina,

I did know that you responded to my post.  My apologies! I need to fix my notifications! :)  Thanks so much for the well wishes.  I am actually starting off by doing contract assignments while I figure out where else I'd like to go in real estate. As a matter of fact, I'm starting my first yellow letter campaign this week.  I'm excited to get cranking!  Thanks again!

Hello BP!  I have been lurking on this site for a couple of years and have enjoyed reading the various posts and listening to the podcasts, along with reading books and researching online.  Now that I'm finished with grad school, I'm ready to take action and jump into getting involved with real estate.  I'm interested in starting out with assigning contracts while I'm continuing to learn other exit strategies.  I'd really like to find a mentor who is really knowledgable about the Dallas area and willing to work with a newbie like me.  I know many BP members discourage paying for training when there is so much here for free.  True, there is a wealth of information here, but for someone like me who works a busy full-time job and does not have alot of extra time, it can be overwhelming.  It requires hours and hours of reading various posts on the site to try to distinguish the smart and good advice and recommendations from the bad advice.  It would just be more helpful to me to have a succinct book, training program or mentor that could help put me on a track to begin the business quickly.  I hope this makes sense.

I thought I had finally found an answer- there is a local investor here who has probably one of the most comprehensive training programs I've seen as far as the content, contacts and help provided to students.  I was informed yesterday, however, that it costs $10K for the 6-month program, which I definitely do not have to spend. Are there any other more reasonable mentors (in DFW) or training programs anyone would recommend?  Thanks for any suggestions and I look forward to connecting with more people on the site! :)

Hello, everyone!  I'm a newbie in the Dallas area looking to learn and build relationships with others in the business.  I've been interested in real estate for some time now and have been browsing this site for about a year, along with listening to various BP podcasts.  A demanding career and graduate school had me stretched pretty thin over the past couple of years, and made it hard for me to delve in like I'd like.  Now that I've graduated, I want to really dig into real estate investing with hopes of eventually replacing/exceeding my full-time income.  I'm interested primarily in creative real estate methods to start (low/no money down, partnerships, subject-to, etc.), as I do not have much available capital.  I want to eventually learn all of the various strategies so that I can be successful in just about any situation.  I have also developed an interest in multi-family properties as well, but I'm not sure it is wise to start there this soon.

I know that networking is one of the most important things to do.  In the DFW area, there are so many different real estate groups, workshops, events.  Can anyone recommend what the most impactful of these are?  Since I work full-time, I have to be selective of where I spend my time.

Thanks for any insight.  I'll continue searching this site for info and listening to podcasts as well. I look forward to connecting with you all and learning more about RE Investing!  :)
