With your background in cyber security and experience in the stock market, you’re already bringing a strong foundation of analytical skills that will serve you well in this space.It sounds like you’ve done your research and are ready to take the next step—do you have a specific market or strategy in mind for your first real estate investment?

Other sites that can be successful included Facebook (specific groups you are targeting like traveling nurses or 5th ward housing, etc), Airbnb/VRBO (30+ day stays) and insurance placements like ALE Solutions.

Maybe I am not seeing the full picture but any specifics you could share that they would bring to the table? 

Since you’re in research mode, getting familiar with neighborhood-specific trends will be key, some areas have strong rental demand, while others can be trickier to manage. 

Specifically, I would love recommendations on the best NMLS-approved pre-licensing courses for Texas, as well as insights into mentorship programs or mortgage companies that actively train and hire new MLOs.

Hello, I am a 21 year old embarking on my journey into real estate, specifically focusing on multi-family properties.

Hi Matt, if you want good bang for your buck, I would consider the Midwest, specifically Ohio.

Quote from @Joshua Tucker: What specific tax benefits can high net worth individuals receive from building real estate on tribal land?

Specifically, under a properly structured Trust the following limitations will apply during the period that the property is held by the Trust: (i) the Trust cannot raise new capital; (ii) other than in the case of a tenant bankruptcy or insolvency, the Trust cannot renegotiate or modify an existing loan nor can the Trust refinance or enter into a new loan during the period that the property is held by the Trust; (iii) the Trust cannot renegotiate or modify its existing leases or enter into new leases other than in the case of a tenant bankruptcy or insolvency (in the case of a Trust that adopted a master lease structure, this limitation applies to the master lease and not the underlying third-party leases); (iv) the Trust cannot reinvest the proceeds from the sale of the property; (v) the Trust cannot modify or improve the property other than undertaking normal maintenance or minor non-structural repairs; (vi) the Trust cannot hold its reserves other than in cash or short-term obligations; and (viii) the Trust must distribute all of its cash, other than cash held for normal reserves, on a current basis.

I haven't taken it, but would assume it was at or near their best stuff...the inability to ask the specific questions you had might have taken a part in that.
