I have recommendations for lenders and agents in the area that can help your journey as well.

I would recommend starting in your backyard and hone your skills if its possible, I know some markets have an extreme HCOL which may make it unfavorable in your case.

Hi everyone,I'm currently on the hunt for reliable lenders in the DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth) area and would love any recommendations or leads you might have.

VA Loan Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

My recommendation is before chasing all these real estate deals is to go earn and save some money so when a good deal comes a long you can take action and move on it. 

I have never pulled a permit for a water heater swap, know no one that has ever pulled a permit for a water heater swap, ever seen or heard about one getting red tagged for no permit, and have never had a plumber recommend getting a permit.

This my goal to obtain over the next 5-10 years.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

Are there team members (RE agents, wholesalers, lenders, PMs, contractors, etc) you'd recommend?

@Ajay Bodas I have heard the same recommendation from my 1031 Intermediary and tax guy, but they both also said, "It Depends"... following this post to see what some other smart members know!
