Hey Guys my name is Esteban, I'm new in all of real state I been listening the BP pop cast and the rookie pop cast as well, I'm really interested in start in this world of real state what are the books that you'll recommend for start, and also I live in the Houston area if there is anybody that can help me to get in all this I'll be happy to do my best on in, I know plumbing pretty well, also some HVAC knowledge.

It's kind of the best of both worlds and property prices are quite a bit better as you start to get out of the city.

@Jasmine Russell That’s a tricky one lol the real answer is it depends(annoying I know)… When I first got started I had 0 experience but had done a ton of research, I still lost 100k on my first deal (lol) but I used that painful lesson on my pitches to tell future partners what I learned and didn’t give upit was also a raw land permitting play and I payed back the investor every penny I owed which helped my brand- Now, for those that know me I don’t need to go over my portfolio, what I’ve done etc because my reputation precedes me however, when I’m in a scramble and need funding for a deal and advertising it to the world and talking to strangers I’m absolutely going over my track record so they feel comfortable that I know what I’m doing and if I don’t specialize in a particular niche I get someone on my team and involved in the deal who’s and expert there and have them on the calls or at the very least their website or somethingI definitely am a fan of fake it till you make it but if you’re the one putting capital into a deal maker, check, double check and triple check everything they tell you and do your own DD

A "flip" in the multi-family world is usually a 4 year process so it works a bit differently on that side.  

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.

But I would like to get real world advice from the BP community.

News & World Report.Other Texas communities on the list are:No. 5 Fort Worth, home of Texas Christian University.No. 17 College Station, home of Texas A&M University.No. 21 Dallas, home of Southern Methodist University.No. 24 Waco, home of Baylor University.No. 33 Houston, home of Rice University.https://austin.culturemap.com/...

They are world wide, have a ton of support locally and across the country.

If turnkeys get you in the game then fantastic - it's still the best game in the world in my opinion.

Not the end of the world as you are able to get a deal done.
