@Ayana Sabree In Killeen or Austin?

Welcome to BP @Ayana Sabree . If you are looking for a local REI you may try this one>> https://www.meetup.com/Masterminds-of-Cen-Tex-Real-Estate-Investors/

Welcome to BP @Davyona Hogans , you should find that other investors are usually very helpful to those getting into the business. I would suggest that you find like-minded people to be around locally and start networking. There are meetups in your area that are very active. https://www.meetup.com/Masterminds-of-Cen-Tex-Real... While you are new I would suggest finding a marketing strategy that you like and get comfortable with it until you move on to the next.

Welcome Taylor, I'm sure you will find the BP community helpful in various ways. If you're interested there are two active meetups of real estate investors in the area. You may find yourself useful to us in your trade as well as gaining knowledge in real estate investing.

Please take a moment to lend your support to the cause that will positively affect all of us! Eddie Speed and others have created this coalition of investors to demonstrate to the US Congress how many of us there are supporting our lobbyist(s) in DC. In order for our opinions to be heard, we must join together and support this effort.

Please click the link below, get caught up on current legislation that will positively reform Dodd Frank without harming those it was designed to protect. IfHR 1360 is not passed, Owner/Seller Financing would be greatly impacted causing harm to those facing foreclosure that needs a way out of their situation as well as those who cannot qualify for a traditional loan and want to own a home.

THIS WILL DIRECTLY IMPACT YOUR EXIT STRATEGY OPTIONS!

HR 1360 Grassroots Letter

HR 1360 Press Release

“I am proud to re-introduce the Seller Finance Enhancement Act of 2016; a bill that will help small business owners fight unnecessary regulation and continued federal overreach. While the cost of mortgage loan origination has increased dramatically since the financial meltdown, seller financiers continue to fill an important void in the national housing market, while allowing many American’s to realize the dream of homeownership.”

- Congressman Roger Williams (TX-25) Sponsor of HR 1360
