This mentorship has legit changed my life. I have closed 4 deals in the last month. 3 of them I kept and another that I wholesaled. I also have 3 more under contract. I learned all this in the mentorship with Pace. I have also raised half a million in private money capital in that group. If you would like to hear more reach out!!!

My wife and I began flipping houses in 2017 for ourselves and we are now on the fix and hold side of things with our Property Management company. I grew up on the west side of Fort Worth and actually graduated from Arlington Heights high school. Are you looking to buy an older property in west Fort Worth? There are many newer builds in far west Fort Worth. My first personal home was a HUD owned property. I will send you a request so can connect, thanks.

 Absolutely!

Hi Everyone!

My name is Daniel Schlittler, and I'm a soon to be Real Estate investor. My goal is to purchase my first property (a SFR) in the growing North Texas area by October of this year. These cities include: Prosper, Celina, Gunter, Melissa, Anna, Sherman, Van Alstyne, etc.

I've been consuming a ton of BP content via podcasts & books, but am really looking to expand my network. My goal in posting this is to see if there's anyone in the Dallas/North Texas area that would be interested in starting some sort of regular meetup with me where we can share ideas, information, etc. The more the merrier!

I didn't see what I was looking for under the meetup tab, so I figured I'd reach out to everyone directly. Please let me know if you're interested!

Either way, I'm excited to be here & look forward to hopefully meeting/talking with some of you.

I started with owner occupied homes. It made it easier to get started. I own three rentals and my primary home, but now looking to branch out into fix and flips for first-time (and low income) homeowners.

There are a lot of great programs for first-time homeowners.

I would first recommend viewing the BP podcasts to find the investment type that interests you, as well as joining a local (and legit) real estate investing association. I also suggest that you don’t spend a lot of money on courses right now. Identify your goals first.

I wish you all the best.

 Swati, congrats! It sounds like you've been educating yourself and working on saving a good amount to get started. What market are you located in? I honestly feel like the first deal is always the hardest. No matter how much you prepare yourself, you'll question if you're actually ready. But real estate is the long game, and the sooner you can safely get started- the better!

I started my real estate journey in 2020.I was 25 years old, and living in San Diego. I had about $25,000 saved up. I had been studying real estate for about 3 years before I finally pulled the trigger. I didn't have any mentors and had no idea what I was doing. I was working fulltime as a Recruiter. 

I had learned everything I knew from Bigger Pockets, Youtube and online research. I was priced out of the California market. So after studying many markets, I settled on my first single family rental in South Bend, Indiana. The purchase price was $62,500. I paid a 25% down payment. The house came with tenants, so it was cash flowing from day one. Those tenants are still in place.

I bought my second property in South Bend in 2021. It was $70,000 and I did a 20% down payment. My property managers found a tenant within 3 weeks and those tenants are still there. It also is cash flowing well! 

I bought my third property in 2022. That is my current residence, a condo in Scottsdale Arizona (where I currently live). I've spent the past two years doing a complete remodel, and I plan on turning it into a rental one day! 

In 2023 I got completely burnt out of my corporate recruiting job. My mental health was suffering and did some soul searching to figure out my next move. I reevaluated my passions and goals, and kept coming back to real estate investmenting. I quit my job and got my real estate license in November 2023 and started at the investment firm New Western. I closed my first deal as an agent in December 2023!

Now it's January 2024, I am 30 years old, and I am so optimistic to see what is coming. My goals for this year are growing my network, and close some deals so I can hopefully do my first flip! 

My messages are always open for new people who need help getting started!
