Very nice suburb area outside of Dallas and I'm very much ready to get in the real estate game!

Let’s be honest, I’ve watched folks who jump into this game as if playing roulette.. firing off offers on duplexes in Phoenix or leaning on some “sure-thing” house hack in Austin without ever sketching out their plan.

It'd be better to pocket the cash in my opinion and invest elsewhere.It seems like there's a bit of conflict between where you are and where you'd like to be.

I wont go into all the specifics of my strategy, but basically I am buying a 450k+ home for 25-30k out of pocket and my partner puts in 330k from the SBLOC.

Meetup.com is a good resource for those but some of the groups will also post here on Bigger Pockets Marketplace too.

I’ve been researching a lot about the basics, but I know there’s so much more to learn, especially from those who’ve been in the game for a while.I’d love to hear from experienced wholesalers about their journeys and any advice you have for a complete beginner like me!

Very grateful for bigger pockets!

You are at 72% LTV - you can roll up to 80% LTV in the loan for closing costs - maybe its the case you have to come out of pocket a bit on closing costs.

Collections are where the game is won or lost, and without proactive management, even the prettiest property can bleed money.
