Making money in real estate requires experience and starting with no or little money makes you study harder.As much as most of us probably wished for it, getting started with a lot of money in your pocket is a recipe for disaster: the temptation is to make the deal work by throwing money at it.If you want to go into real estate go with a syndicator with a good track record.

@Krista Lance, I would say with 7 properties that its a good time to start thinking about bookkeeping software.

Look at what other complexes are charging and you should get a good feel of where to start off

Love your mindset—real estate is a long game, and you're starting with the right attitude!

Seconding what @Max Wilhite said, Multi-Family is a great way to get started.

I’m not in Tyler, but I know how important it is to find like-minded people when starting out.

Hi, good feed back, I was just talking to JOEL from Launch Financial, for some small deals in Montgomery AL. we want to start doing.Anyone that you guys can recommend for private lending for this area?

They don't want you saying to start in 2 weeks but your framer takes longer and now they can't start for 4 weeks.

I specialize in small multifamily properties and house hacking working alongside BiggerPockets podcast guest Andrew Freed to help investors find high-performing deals in Central MA.My Background:  - Started in late 2019 I utilized an FHA loan to get my first 3 family property in Fitchburg, spent about a year fixing it up and soon after I refinanced. 

If enough people reach out, eventually it would be great to start a meetup group for STR investors in the area.
