I have been dabbling in real estate investing and we have a vacation rental property in Custer SD.

Going to property tours inspired me to obtain my real estate license in the state of Georgia; and look further into property investing and helping others achieve their real estate goals.

Context: My wife is in real estate annd we anre in the Houston market.  

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

Commercial lending for real estate expansion is a relatively small demographic thus it flies below their radar.

Real Estate is a belly to belly business.

You do still have to know the right areas to invest in and who to trust for that info. 

Even with a great opportunity, trust is the foundation of any partnership.In my partnership, we had already worked together on multiple deals—me as the agent and him as the investor buyer—so we had established a strong foundation of trust.

Quote from @Keith Angell: Hello everyone,I’m looking for some advice as I plan the next steps in my real estate investments.

In Texas, as a licensed agent, you’re generally required to use TREC-approved forms for real estate transactions unless an exception applies, like (I believe) leases longer than 1 year or where no TREC form exists.
