➡️Network and educate investors.

It has been really educational for me because we have people from all over the US with all types of experience to learn from.

We aren't that big as we only have 5 properties/7 doors but it has been a great experience for us and we aren't looking back. 

Self-education and finding a mentor or partner to learn from are much better options.

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! 

It's a whole lot easier to keep an educated eye on repairs and repeats with dedicated internal technicians. 

I have another townhome under contract closing at the beginning of march and now I’m worried that people aren’t renting. 

Certain parts of Eastlake aren't to bad and usually do great and than center point not to awful either. 

You definitely don't need to be an agent, but it helped my hands on education at the time!

But if you see the value in investing money into your own personal education, then maybe this could be a good fit for you.
