I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor. 

Hey everyone, I've been working with 3D virtual tours and wanted to start a discussion on how they impact real estate marketing.

My name is Abigail and I a nurse in Tyler and a newbie real estate investor!

Quote from @Malcolm Brown: My real estate agent provides listings (multi family homes).

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self-storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.
