Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking and is full of great content.I recommend that you check out the following resources:1.

That said, it can be done and done successfully if you plan in advance, build your team (contractors, subs, back ups, lenders, credit with suppliers, escrow/title, real estate attorney, mentor, etc.) get educated on finding (marketing) for deals, rehab costs, locations, market data (like crime rates, school ratings, population growth, job growth, etc), specific market insights like what is most popular and sells for the most in your area, etc

Hey @Jimmy JarjourIt sounds like you are crushing the education game.

Stay educated through books, podcasts, local meetups, and online communities like BiggerPockets.

Stop chasing guru/mentor “education”, tactics, strategies.  

Education, networking, market research, and a good exit strategy are crucial for success.Good luck!

Most brokerages did a poor job of educating their agents of these changes so please bare with the agent.

(Example: investing for long-term capital growth for your kids education in 15 years, you have $200K to play with, you want to be an active investor in a market within 3 hours of you).

When it comes to all the cost and growth assumptions one thing I lack is the experience to understand what to expect... so most long term inputs are educated guesses.

Only nearby city that rivals it is Amarillo (2.5hr drive north) and it does not have anywhere near the education infrastructure or $$$ inflow Lubbock has (at least not yet) with Texas Tech and associated schools, SPCC, LCU.
