Not being able to cash flow with current market prices in a decent neighborhood.Not being able to pull the trigger to get started is probably my biggest.I will end my long into there.Brian Welcome to the site Brian.

Hi @Danny Amorando  Reading books, plus this site is a great way to keep learning. 

Hi Ivy, welcome to Bigger Pockets, there's a wealth of information on this site.

So, if you can find the right city web site, you can then look it up.   

It's not really that complicated to buy out of state.

Hi @Amy Jo Holweger,Welcome to the site.

The web site says http://fortworthtexas.gov/neighborhoods/NEZ/Promote housing, economic development and quality services in Fort Worth central city.So what does this really mean for those of us who have rentals in the area? 

Sellers will often let their leases expire when planning to list the property for sale because they don't want the complications of trying to arrange a showing with tenants.

I hate that I haven't yet been actively investing but I'm also extremely proud of myself for clearing the debt and being able to move forward and be in a financial situation to leverage my money wisely in real estate before I begin.So all in all within 4 years of graduating college I will be house hacking with no personal student loan debt.There are a lot of smarter people than I on this site who have much more experience who may give different advice, but this was the plan that I really latched onto when I was reaching out about my first property 2 years ago.

Also go onto the meetup site and search for any RE networking events local.
