My name is Willie Francis and I'm  a newbie to real estate investing, I’m working a full time job for the Railroad looking for financial freedom thru RE my goals are investing in Rental Property in the Houston area.

I'm relocating to Houston from Dallas at the end of the year.

I recently bought a house in Houston, TX and am thinking about renting it out.

Looking for likeminded individuals military or non military who enjoy discussing ideas and investments and wanting to get to network with like minded people in multi-family near the Houston, Pensacola, Mobile areas.

I have also seen good advice in the forums on getting involved with the local REIA, so I'm planning to do that.Do you guys have any other advice for a new investor in the Houston market?

I monitor the Houston forum, so I have read many of your posts - The primary theme I see in your posts is that you generously offer your time and expertise to new investors and allow a group of new or wannabe investors the opportunity to walk your flips and tag along with you while you are looking for or working on a project - very generous of you - I see that you were able to give an amazing opportunity to a new investor when she may have not had the confidence to move forward on her own without your guidance - I am a fan of collaborating with other investors when you do not have the funds to complete a project on your own ... it can be a win/win opportunity that otherwise would have to be passed up ......However, when I read the details in this post, a few things come to mind - it seems that you used very little of your own money ...$5,000?

Any recommendation? Thanks in advance.

I'm in Houston, Texas.
