I did a quick Google browse and the numbers are all over the place.

@Jamila ThompsonI think you can gain experience in multiple ways1) reading books2) browsing the forums3) Analyzing deals4) going to open houses5) going to networking eventsThere may be investors who are willing to teach for free but there are also investors who value time and want some trade off before they teach/mentor/train you.Obtaining a skill that an investor would find useful would be a good bargaining chip.

I'm trying to browse Tennessee specific topics, as I have been vaguely advised there are specific forums for local state markets.

@Tony Simmons I know I'm late to the party here but I too have recently been browsing the Lompoc area for potential flip and/or small multifamily opportunities and was wondering if there was anything you've come across since your last post here in regards to the local market.  

I currently have a feed from an agent that I casually browse for the Euless, Hurst, Bedford, and North Richland Hills areas.Thinking in terms of implementing the BRRRR method is it be reasonable to seek a partnership with a flipper to get at the ground level of a deal? 

Keep listening to podcasts and browsing the forums for information!

Which won’t happen till I get there and browse.

I browsed through the properties for sale and the sales cycle seems to be taking a bit too long, which made me wonder about the above.

I noticed while browsing that some condos don't allow you to rent.

With the DFW market seeming very competitive with multi family homes based on the research and browsing I've done on various listing sites, is it better to find an agent and lender first?
