I am a Tech Exec that decided about 6 months ago to dive in and research the holy heck out of how to best approach shifting half my investment capital to real estate from just Stocks and Mutual funds.I put my 4, 10 and 20 year goals together and then built a plan on how to hit each goal.Then I started networking and learning everything I could here, books and networking with friends and other investors.I initially landed on just going for appreciation in my town of Austin.  

The economist says that the guys in some of the towns such as Apex who approve new build permits and paperwork are more backed up than ever--once the new-builds catch up with the influx, things should shift  in the home buying and the rental markets, don't you think?

I am very burned out on the idea of running a "real estate brokerage" and feel ready to shift my focus to my original dream which got me interested in becoming a real estate agent in the first place; fix n flips, buy-rehab-hold, wholesaling, new construction and maybe help a buyer or seller here and there when the opportunity arises.Is there anyone out there facing the similar problems or maybe have good advice on marketing, success stories or advice in general?
