I just tried out Deal Machine and it was not what I was looking for so I just became a Bigger Pockets Pro SubscriberHey Derek!

Real businesspeople and investors know you learn more from the losses than the wins and diligently try to figure out where they went wrong.

@Mark G.We tried cold calling and that didn't work too well...with Propstream you just use your search criteria and it will give you a list of prospects to reach out to. 

I'm trying to start off with something closer to Houston as my first property, but will keep College station in mind for the future. 

That is where I'm at currently, trying to find a brokerage and/or envrionment where I can work under an established individual to gain more knowledge and find myself in the field everyday.

It's up to you how far to take this though.When we're faced with this, we try to hold the tenants accountable, by pushing hard to do self-showings.- Who better to show the house and speak positively about than a current tenant?

However, I don’t yet have the funds for a down payment on another house, and I’m trying to figure out the best option for where to live while I rent the apartment.Do you have any recommendations for managing this transition or tips on finding a temporary place to stay?

I have been trying to buy my first property  without luck.

Hi BillI seen that and I am not trying to do all that.

Lastly, I would also try and tap into any MTR market you could possibly have in your area.
