Quote from @Stacey Wells: Hey everyone,I’ve been researching different funding options for real estate investments and business expansion.

I want to work my way into anything full time because I have a decent job now but eventually i want to have real estate/construction replace my income. 

If we include investments in mortgage loans (trust deeds), real estate partnerships, REITs as well as direct property ownership, I’m at about 80%.  

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the real estate market, you might be feeling a little unsure about whether now is the right time to invest.

Hang out with others that are doing what you want to do and invest your $25-$50,000 in real estate vs education. 

I would like to start connecting with lenders, attorneys, realtors, title companies, and all other professional in the SATX commercial real estate market.  

👋It’s a pleasure to join this community and connect with people passionate about real estate.

@Kevin ApolinarioCongratulations on taking the steps toward your first real estate investment!

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.You need to get a firm grasp on two things: the ways to make money with real estate, and how to find deals that match your goals.P.S.
