I’m passionate about learning and improving my process to provide real value to investors, whether you’re focused on fix-and-flip, buy-and-hold, or any other strategy.Looking forward to your thoughts and insights!

I am currently an Asset Manager for Multifamily Deals as my W-2 job and looking to buying my first deal in College Station/Bryan Area.Anyone I can connect with to pick their brain on different investing strategies? 

I don't ever recommend someone buy a property having never seen or been there.It sounds like @Dustin Hagemaier would be a great resource for you.

My ultimate goal would be to buy fixer-uppers to turn into long-term rentals.

It's mostly Class A properties, a few Class B.You may find the below copy & paste info useful in addressing your question:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Once you can define what you are looking for then you can create your "Buy Box". 

Generic replacement parts that fit American Standard can be found anywhere.Don't buy the cheap $90 toilets.

But not just any rough area, find the areas that you think will gentrify in a few years (less than 5), buy a rough house, fix it up and wait.

Most fail to consider what goes into owning and operating real estate once it’s purchased and solely concern themselves with how to buy the property.

It's great to have you with us.. do you think you'll focus more on fix-and-flips or buy-and-holds?
