From what I see, there are people who invest in different real estate markets all over the country.

Most people cant afford that alone which means a syndicate or getting PMLs involved and doing the synd yourself. there's nothing wrong with starting with some smaller properties.

It seems like the perfect place, BiggerPockets, for finding people who are like-minded, asking them questions, and learning how to become a future investor.I believe that no matter how unforgiving the market may seem, the right tools, knowledge, and preparation can help minimize risk and create opportunities.

Thanks, Victor.I have met the people in person, and it's a fairly large, established lender operating in multiple states. 

The idea of restricting what you do with your own cash, just because it was a refi, is probably unconstitutional.I know a lot of people investing in Texas from both inside and outside Texas. 

Social media is a good place to meet people, but do you really understand what they do?

My current situation is that I always flip with other people’s money.

Section 8 refers to a voucher that some people use to pay for their housing.

basically if anyone has any tips when it comes to researching plots of land in order to make the right purchase i would greatly appreciate it get with a realtor. we underwrite land at no more than 10% of after built value. in our market we build under the average new build value which is about 515k. we like to be around 420-450k and smaller footprint about 1500 sq ft with attached garages. we build close to urban core where everyone wants to live and net migrations match up. but suburban is fine. if you give more context I can help but in most markets land is a buyers market. most people aren't looking at it or buying it. 

If you like impacting the nation by providing affordable housing you can really put people in houses here.
