Stop chasing guru/mentor “education”, tactics, strategies.  

When it comes to all the cost and growth assumptions one thing I lack is the experience to understand what to expect... so most long term inputs are educated guesses.

(Example: investing for long-term capital growth for your kids education in 15 years, you have $200K to play with, you want to be an active investor in a market within 3 hours of you).

Only nearby city that rivals it is Amarillo (2.5hr drive north) and it does not have anywhere near the education infrastructure or $$$ inflow Lubbock has (at least not yet) with Texas Tech and associated schools, SPCC, LCU.

I’ve been focused on continuous education rather than taking action, but you’re right.. actually doing it will provide better experience and knowledge.

It is a great resource to get started, and I guarantee you can make it happen with some education/solid team.

Get a fee only advisor, or educate yourself and get rid of a financial advisor altogether. 

My city seems to bid the land banks but I’m planning on reaching out to get educated on how the system works. 

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking and is full of great content.I recommend that you check out the following resources:1.

One of the best things you can do right now is educate yourself.
