I am looking for a solid real estate agent and eventually will need a home inspector, possible property manager/etc. in regards to the process.I have a few family friends which I am blessed to have mentored me the past few years in this field and I am determined/diligent to learn and grow. 

I have noticed that it has become a little more difficult to Find FSBO's and such on these popular FREE sites, however,a) Is anyone still using them?

Glad to see you still growing!

If you live in Texas this is a great resource to see how much MF inventory is growing in your market https://trerc.tamu.edu/data/building-permits/

However, if you're a W2 high income earner or business owner, I can't imagine it makes any sense to flip houses, mail mass post cards, wholesale, or build lead gen websites with the value of your time being better spent other places (such as learning about real estate and increasing your income through proven means), such as at your 9-5pm or growing your business, and your real estate is a long term process and you don't need "home run" deals to qualify or make it work.

Contrary to popular belief, major hurricanes are not as common as some think - as someone who's lived in St.

It's an amazing place to learn and grow in real estate.

For STR, AirDNA is the most popular option of course, but the pricing model per city is rough (if it's still like that).

I also have a $50k line of credit I can tap into when needed that will grow as I keep growing the business.Right now my rent is about $1700 where I've been staying for over a year, but really wanting to trade that for a mortgage and start building that equity.

As I look to grow, I’m considering joining a coaching/mentorship program like Partner Driven or something similar.
