I agree, I plan on doing multifamily and commercial investments in San Diego (and throughout SoCal) and I will be an agent in Orange County and San Diego so I do think I will be exposed to investments before others. 

Also, if you're looking to just make a lot of commission you'll pass on doing things that will make you successful - door knocking, networking, cold calls, etc.The majority of the work you do will not directly link up to commission but over time as you improve and build a solid network, you'll enjoy the fruits of your labor. 

I suspect you and the OP are comparing apples to oranges. 

Real estate is a bit tricky because it requires capital - and further, much of the labor / needed help is quite frankly low hanging fruit that will not use your horsepower you practiced while in school.All that said, I think wholesaling is a way to credibly offer something while getting practice evaluating a lot of deals. 

You can totally do it and you can make money, but it's just not the low hanging fruit. 

However, I would start with low hanging fruit (Acquire cheap, fix and Hold), until I build a portfolio with equity.  

I would make the bold prediction that Hays county will become the Orange county of central Texas over the next few decades.Hopefully you got something out of that.

If I want to add texture to it (orange peel or knockdown) which texture will be more easy to do?

I’m sure there’s a bunch more deals to be found, but that person just took your low-hanging fruit and plucked it for someone else.

Still learning about Orange County, but Middletown seems the most rental friendly compared to the other areas I’m looking at.
