Hello Greg, Just saw the thread and due to some personal reasons and different priorities in my life currently I would not be able to attend and hope you all have a good meetup. Hopefully I can attend the next one.

Thanks
Bala

Not really if you have the right guidance.

I have doubts a newbie will have much success starting off with wholesaling, for a few reasons.

Brian Hoyt , have you considered being an non-licensed assistant to an agent? I came this for New Mexico and you should find one relevant for Texas.

This will provide you with some supplementary income as well as some of the benefits of an agent without a license, so you can hit both these with one stone.

Good luck

Jon K., I did read your original text post in this thread on your first deal and I knew the use of that profit. I thought it was Josh but obviously your older son. I was not making fun but what a great a use to put the very first RE profit into.

Jon K., was that the profit you brought along for the last meetup, if so, compound interest does amaze me how much it can grow in 17 years :)

Jordan Bateman, Good luck and god bless you. Birth Certificates are not public records in Texas for 75 years so like Greg B. suggested if you have to drag him to the county clerk you might as well check what is needed to obtain his birth certificate. Below is a link to vital stats.
