I am based in San Marcos as well.Let me know if you have any questions at all or would like to get together like @Peter Chan suggested.Good luck and soak up as much info as you can.

This will get your seed money back and put the asset on a 20 year commercial non owner occ loan through your LLC or Corp.Rinse and repeat.I hope that helps.Have you read the rich dad poor dad series of books?

I am slowly finding my way around everything here and I will be soaking everything up!

Currently working as a digital marketing director for an agency and saving up some investment seed money to get started. 

Soak up the info, ask as many questions as you like and stay connected.  

I am soaking up every bit of info I can get from BP and truly appreciate it.

I am a new investor as well so take my recommendations with a grain a salt, but like you, I have been spending A LOT of time on BP soaking up knowledge. 

I'm sort of in the same boat as you I am just soaking all the info in before I take the plunge into real estate.

If im being nosey, you dont have to answer im just trying to guage the possibilities.Since im a stickler for details and making things simple- search for distressed properties, so i have a valid reason to offer below market value- try to get my seed money back with a bit of a profitWith distressed properties.

Think of it as your "seed" money for your farming operation.
