I'm here in Austin and am about to go through my 2nd house hacking venture... would be happy to connect with anyone interested in investing here in austin...

Hello everyone, I'm in the Southern California area just started venturing out in real estate.My interest is in fix and flip/buy and hold.

Some people don't have the capital and/or credit to other things in real estate that make lots of money so wholesaling is a great place to start for that individual who can later on venture into other parts of real estate.

Good luck on your REI venture! 

@Eric BlackWithout seeing your contract, I would venture to say that by signing a contract with your PM company, it gave them the authority to act on your behalf in regard to listing, renting and signing contracts with tenants.

purchase agreement, assignment agreement, and a joint venture agreement I think.

If you ever done a deal the lender makes money by a percent some will joint venture.

Generate a little money, then use some of it to...Begin doing low-cost marketing (postcards, door hangers, etc.) to attract sellers, and then start wholesaling yourself.Identify and talk to as many serious buyers as you can, then go back to that established investor or wholesaler from Step 1 and arrange a joint venture wherein you'll help them sell their deals (to buyers you bring) for a piece of the wholesale fee.These three tactics alone could get you learning the business tomorrow, if you wanted!

I'm also new to real estate investing since I didn't want to venture into this topic until after I had made my move.I'm currently doing my due diligence, including researching, networking, and lining up my finances. almost finished with the book by J.

This will not be a full time venture for me to start with.
