Looking for success stories or other experiences , positive or negative, range of costs, etc.

I can say my personal experience has been pretty mediocre.

@Arun MaheshwariFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, Richmond, Texas, is a promising location for single-family home investments due to its growing population, suburban appeal, and proximity to Houston's strong job market.

It’s incredible that his experience would be so similar to mine.

There are many routes to go when starting to find leads it all depends on your budget and experience.

I would research as much as I can on those markets and join your local investment Facebook groups as well because there are local investors who can share more experiences as well. 

However, after you get some experience, you probably want to get a Private Lender since this will allow you to keep the majority of the profits.

That was a learning experience.  

I'd love to hear anyone's experience in the construction of a duplex on land.

Would it be a good idea to get a real estate license and work in real estate or are there other options to get in Missouri to get real estate experience without a license?
