I am interested in getting into land development and I also have a friend here in jacksonville fl that trying to navigate her way into developing rv parks.

You can utilize the forums under the strategies you are interested in pursuing and find many like-minded individuals to connect with. 

You can start by talking to investors/ investor-friendly realtors from different markets and learning to analyze different types of deals.

Found some recommendation from a friend about reedyandcompany.com real estate company selling some of their short term rental and wondering if it's worth considering the deal?

I've been scolded by several people for doing my own taxes lol...My other investor friend pays a CPA $1000 just to do her returns but that person is semi-retired and isn't taking new clients.

I am planning to visit the cities next week so if there are any meetups please let me know, would like to connect with investor friendly agents, investors, property managers and anyone who is active in the above mentioned real estate markets.Thank you and looking forward to connecting! 

Anything under 75,000 or 50,000 you might want to consider a local small private person or friend and family as hard money wonders do not that low dollar amount.

So here are my questions...I have no personal experience with the Texas area, which means I need to rely on doing my own research and the advice from individuals who know the cities well.

Those are rough estimates based on some uninformed, but hopefully close, assumptions.I also live in a major city in Texas surrounded by friends that have high incomes.

Hi Jose, For hard money, you'll have to put down at least 10% of the purchase price, and they're not going to want that to be money borrowed from a friend or family member.
