For example, I think a good way for me to start in real estate is to learn everything I can about underwriting, then find 1-3 properties on which I think the numbers make sense and post them here for feedback from more experienced members.

It’s awesome to see your passion for real estate investing and your clear goals for the future.

But real estate is not particularly good at cash flow.

A single-family home or small multi-unit property can be a great way to dip your toes in the water.Build a Team: Even if you’re planning to handle most things yourself, having a good real estate agent, property manager (if needed), and a reliable handyman can make life so much easier.Learn the Local Laws: Pensacola is pretty investor-friendly, but it’s always good to know local zoning laws and short-term rental regulations if you’re thinking about Airbnb or VRBO.Run the Numbers: Make sure you’re clear on the property’s cash flow potential.

My wife and I are real estate investors based in Katy, and I/we are looking to connect with local investors, real estate agents, property managers, and contractors in the area.

Hi Yooni,Congrats on taking the leap into real estate investing!

It's an amazing place to learn and grow in real estate.

I'm new to the real estate game and have heard a lof of good things about Propstream and Dealmachine.

I'm an asset-based (hard money) lender from Atlanta with an extensive 15-yr background in residential and commercial real estate looking to learn more from the BP community and how I can help those that need investment financing. 

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.
