Thank you all in advance for the tremendous help.Have a great day.

To give some more information on my plan, I am in the beginning stages of contacting lawyers, agents, contractors, mortgage brokers, and hard money lender to build out my contact list.Simultaneously, I am beginning to develop systems for generating leads.I have been listening to the BP Podcast for the past year and it has been a tremendous help in driving my interest in REI.  

I have been watching some webinars for the past few Wednesday's and there is a tremendous amount of knowledge. 

I'm the most active agent at a small lake community near me and know that those properties just take a tremendous amount of time to sell, but the caliber of buyers are significantly different too, which means I'm making some great connections, even if they never end up buying anything.

You can find tremendous information and contacts on the site.

I'm looking to invest with my friend/colleague who does not have too much cash, but is a tremendous worker, dependable, and previously a contractor; he would bring lots of value in turning the property around and wants to live in the home while we fix it up and thereafter (for at least a year maybe two).

There is a tremendous investment value there.

I was able to use the VA loan to finance the second home, which helped tremendously, and soon after I realized just how easy it was to make money doing this, and I've been buying up small multifamily units ever since.I don't know if this is helpful at all, but I hope it was at least interesting to you.

Reading the forums and listening to the podcasts helped tremendously while we licked our wounds.  

Hello all,I'm looking for areas of Fort Worth to invest in buy-and-hold properties, but there is a tremendous amount of competition and I have lost out on several properties with multi-offer situations despite having perfect credit and financing in place.
