Quote from @Argel Algura: Hey Bigger Pockets Community,A year ago I wrote about rebuilding and starting over in life and considering real estate investing as a path (see post here: "Bad credit, minimal cash and starting over in life . . .

) the education process has started with me regarding the commercial side of things !  

Use tools like the BiggerPockets calculators to run the numbers and ensure the properties align with your investment goals.## Financing OptionsFor Hard Money and Private Lender financing, it's crucial to build relationships with local lenders.

Probably starting mid-year 2025 hopefully those are leased up and stabilized and then we're off to the races again in SGF.You could also just simplify everything and park it in one house in Highland Park. 

Our meetups are the perfect place to build relationships, exchange insights, and learn from those actively doing deals in the area.

on my drive around Lake G  I topped into a new development  Large lots nice Modern Farm house designs much like what I build in my developments but definitely next level from what we build and prices were not bad I think under a million.. 

I would like to start connecting with lenders, attorneys, realtors, title companies, and all other professional in the SATX commercial real estate market.  

And just starting out.
