There is a book I'd like to recommend:"Real Estate Investors - Clients for Life by Fred Tichauer"This is the Starter book I used, coupled with the CIAS certification I'm pursuing, to get really into the Investor-Agent game and I'd recommend this path to anyone else interested in being an Investor-Agent.

As with all real estate class, prices have risen but you can still buy attractive properties for juicy yields (9-10% for starters).

Decima has neat work on investing in fixxer uppers, Larry Loftis has a popular title on duplexes, triplexes and quads, Berges on apartments, even the older Robert Irwin stuff can be good for starters, and many more...I would, however, steer away from some of the recent bestseller self help type titles (unless you need the motivation) and focus on the more practical guidance.

Hi calixto i plan to wholesale for starters I think it is the best way for me to start.

That would be for starters.

My main objective at this point is to network with as many like-minded, motivated, self-starters in all walks of this industry. 

I agree with Will in that I know many investors that loaded up on houses years ago at the bottom and now have great equity growth.The equity growth on single family starter houses will not be as good with the market rising today.

As a starter, my strategy is to acquire multifamily properties, fix it, rent it out 5-7 years, and resell it.

i think you might be better off getting a house in sugarland like a 200-250k starter and rent some rooms out to like a university of houston sugarland student and househack

Once I put in that offer, I was so nervous, and felt like I was about to go skydiving or something very dangerous..Fast forward to today.
