They sound very knowledgeable and I am interested in jumping into the customized course they offer. 

@Zach Lemaster and his team was super helpful, supportive, and knowledgeable which ensured a super smooth purchasing process!

I am considering getting into this space (looking at some courses), but worried that its too late, and that deep local market knowledge/understanding of buyers/connection with developers etc is required to make this work, which only incumbent/long term investors will have and would be hard for a new entrant starting from scratch to catch-up...is my hypothesis valid in your opinion ?

I look forward to meeting some of you and expanding my real estate knowledge!

If you're open to sharing your knowledge or having a conversation, I would greatly appreciate your support.Please feel free to reach out—I look forward to connecting with you!

Everyone I spoke with was knowledgeable and pleasant.

Asking to anyone who has experience, knowledge or connections in these southern texas markets, how has this or does it affect your real estate strategy and returns? 

This group is full of knowledgeable people, though you may sometimes get conflicting advice.

I am a little older, a little more knowledgeable now, and I’m reading everything I can get my hands on.  

Would help if you stated what questions you had so people could reply right away.I have knowledge on HELOANs but not direct experience.
