Welcome and you are in the right place and you are on the right track. 

I started my investing journey learning from BiggerPockets Forum as you are doing so I am always willing to help the action takers. 

As you already know, the quality of the investor agent will speed up your learning curve, and save you money, time, and headaches. 

You have received some great recommendations and if you are yet to decide on an Investor friendly to work with, you can send me a DM and see if we are a good fit.

I do provide free mentorship and a lot of free resources and connections to anyone I work with especially beginners like you. 

All the best.

Welcome @Reno Philip,

Great idea to start slower and get your bearings before jumping all in. I learned a ton of valuable info from my first rental and it gave me even more confidence to turn things up. 

Out of your list, I suggest the Northern and Western cities you listed (Conroe, Montgomery, and Katy). I prefer to stay further from the coast and hopefully further from major storm/flooding events (potentially lower insurance costs).  Spring and Tomball are a great market to check out as well. I recently helped a first time investor by a great home up near Benders Landing in Spring for their first rental. 

I am a Real Estate agent, investor and developer in central Houston, feel free to reach out with any questions.

Welcome to BP, Reno!

Which areas are you leaning more towards? My piece of advice would be to make sure you have a great agent in your corner to help you assess the market, make informed decisions, etc. having a good agent can be day & nights difference when it comes to your experience. I have a few in the markets you're looking in and would be happy to make an intro. 

I am right down the way, located in College Station / Bryan market. Have you ever thought about our area?
