Fort Worth is a great market to get started REI.

Review for Phillip Vincent: The 3 days to San Louis are worthy but the $31K he charges after that is not worthy at all, he make it sound like what he offers for the $31k is a great value but at the end is just the same you learn on the 3 days, he make sound like a real value and sadly I fall for that, my savings into the trash can 😭

I resonate with your story; we all have experienced the start of something new in many ways, which makes the business journey a worthy adventure.

However, to your point the underlying fundamentals of the market clearly are worthy of investigation.

If you are not finding good deals money wont find you.If you earn a decent wage and are credit worthy you can start investing by house hacking a multi family with a low down payment mortgage.If you have no money or credit your best best is start finding deals and bringing them to other investors who have money.

You’ll see flashy cars, endless vacations, or Instagram-worthy moments, all promising that this lifestyle is within reach.When the lifestyle becomes harder to sell, it’s time to focus on the message.

Quote from @Mayank Jain:I would not only question who you work with but what their worth is to you.

Volunteering is very worthy and satisfying. 

Lenders are lining up to provide down payment, “gap” financing, and earnest money deposit financing so that they, with no experience, no capital, and no knowledge can purchase a property they incorrectly analyzed as a good purchase, for “nothing” down.Still a good list and worthy of a "bounce" in the forum 

So Bank, when writing a loan, must ensure that property's worth is greater than the loan extended, so if and when borrower defaults they can foreclose on the property, auction it off and get back the money lent.
