I would like to be able to learn from some seasoned veterans while also being able to make a small living as an agent until I can purchase my first property.My long term goal is to be able to own enough rental properties that will cashflow greater than my required income to survive ($3000/month) plus a cushion of cash so I can dedicate fully to investing and not work as much on the retail side of the business.Any tips/suggestions on finding investors to learn from first hand in DFW?

Let's not forget some of the the things not mentioned...the pay scales here are "generally" lower than mainland pay scales of more "comparable" cities...we get taxed on EVERYTHING...and because we're separated by a lot of water from the mainland...things tend to be a little more expensive since it all has to be shipped here.There are many folks that come and go...for one reason or another...many leave (locals included) because they want to "live" and not just survive, which many folks soon realize when they move here.
