Hello everybody! I am a teacher by trade, but I am looking to get into real estate since I've been interested in it for years. Right now, I am not as interested in investing as I am in helping another investor in orde...

The 70% rule is a good starting point, but also factor in local market trends and high-ROI upgrades like kitchen and bathroom updates, modern flooring, and curb appeal.

I'd recommend starting with books $10-$20 gets you 90% of the info you need.

Highly suggest checking out the local meetup groups: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...Our monthly meetup is tomorrow, so that might be a great place to start! 

Hey DenisI have commented a lot about arbitrage in a general sense here, however I believe I am uniquely qualified to answer here as I live and operate about 65 units in this specific market.In 2016 I got my STR start arbitraging a Gulf Front mansion that was in foreclosure and I got a great deal on. 

Local and just starting out. 

:)My name is Malachi , me and my partners just decided to start investing in Dallas, TX market and the surrounding area. 

I mentor a few investors especially just starting.  

This may change over time.Participating in the forums and using the search to find specific questions or topics would be helpful as you start your investor journey.

They’ll hold your hand through the deal process, which is crucial when you’re starting out.
