Start by learning the real estate basics, study the market, set your goals, get a team of experts, make friends in the field, look into how to pay for it, begin small then grow, do deep checks, and go for it.

Especially with the rising age of the baby boomers, I can see a growing need for accessible housing for the elderly wanting to downsize or diminish the effort of maintaining a single family home. 

Use house hacking to save on rent and grow your wealth.

ClairInvesting in a duplex in Lubbock has many ups, like being able to live in one part and rent the other, growing your money, getting more cash, tax perks, and facing fewer times without renters.

And good on you for reaching out to grow your network.

There's a long checklist of items to prepare before you start your direct mail campaign:1) Is it scalable (manual letters aren't) 2) Are you using your time in the most efficient manner (handwriting is ok for starting, but you need to hit 1000s of targets to get the responses to grow your business) 3) Is your message correct for that market?

But would love to chat and connect and build a team of amazing people who are dedicated to growing not only professionally but personally as well. 

Can't wait to see you grow.

I look forward to learning and growing with all the other newbs out there.Best =)
