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.

Stay educated through books, podcasts, local meetups, and online communities like BiggerPockets.

Education, networking, market research, and a good exit strategy are crucial for success.Good luck!

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.

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.

(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).

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.

I really like the idea of incorporating local themes like Texas, Waco, or the Silos into the interior design—that could definitely help a property stand out.
