My advise is to look at property online and see if you can talk with an agent first to see what the rules are for that state.

Hi all,I am new to the online community but have been listening to bigger pockets podcasts for years.

Use your skills to network with local investors and professionals by attending meetups in the Conroe and Houston area, joining online forums, and connecting with property managers or realtors.

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!

It's not like other markets where all info is online and everything is super fast and easy.

@John Lasher If you are still looking to spend $20k-$30K for a coach, I would be happy to take you up on that offer :) For full disclosure,  I will share with you precisely what you can learn online/ perhaps even entirely through these BiggerPockets Forums but that doesn't address the reason why most are still unable to purchase larger assets: creditworthiness and capital relationships.

Look them up online, call and interview several of them.

Quote from @Zach Howard: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: If you are looking at properties in the US only on Zillow, and not seeing them in person (I know you are in Hong Kong), this is just an effort in futility because you can't underwrite single-family or small multifamily deals only online.

Some mentorships include online training, weekly meetings, networking opportunities, tools, and access to speak with other investors/mentees.10.
