I work with Property Management in Houston but can recommend some great networking/educational events for you :) Check out Space City REI - there's monthly meetups with an educational speaker relating to real estate investing and there are plenty of Investors looking for Wholesalers out there! 

Investing in real estate can be highly rewarding—but it also comes with risks.

Quote from @Mary Holland: I'd love to hear about your experiences and how they compare to other types of commercial real estate financing.

Quote from @Jonathan Chan: Hi All,I first joined biggerpockets back in 2020 when I decided to get into real estate.

I have individual spreadsheets for each property that I used in my initial analysis for purchasing the asset of course, but I'd love to see everything all together now with real-time numbers.Where can I find something like this?

It's a super affordable real estate market where you can still find deals that hit the 1% rule anywhere from $120-180k for a single family (or $200-250k for a multifamily) purchase price.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

Or, they flip homes, they are agents, they offer client remodel work, etc, so not specifically flippers but dabble in a lot of real estate related areas.Or, the full timers that started as flippers have since moved into new construction work more than flipping. 

Hi @Sam M.there are great answers on this post but I want to clarify something.In a real estate transaction most of the items are negotiable.

And are there any meet up groups you would recommend joining for real estate investing ?
