That kind of clarity builds confidence.No specific names to share… except mine :) But in all seriousness, I’d suggest asking any potential advisor how hands-on they are throughout the year—and whether they’ve worked with clients in your stage of the journey.

Really inspiring to see how far you've taken things since 2021.I’m a new investor myself with one rental property and looking to eventually scale, so it’s always valuable to learn from those a few steps ahead.I’m also a licensed agent based in Texas and work closely with other investors, so I definitely relate to the hustle behind sourcing deals and staying active.I’m planning to check out your YouTube channel; it sounds like a solid mix of real-world insight and actual project breakdowns, which is always helpful no matter what stage someone’s at.Would definitely be interested in connecting and talking real estate investing, especially since you're growing into the Houston and San Antonio markets.

And yeah, photos really do matter—clean, bright, staged shots can double your leads.One more thing—if you’re serious about getting this filled fast, talk to @Jay Michalec.
