This site is a great resource no matter what area of real estate investing you plan on doing.

I sat in on a board meeting before purchasing, and went through their financials.  

However, real estate business is not that easy, so learn as much as you can through online resources and then look for a mentor. 

Get on the podcasts and all the free educational resources we have and you'll do fine!

With resources such as BiggerPockets at my disposal, I will continue to learn and expand my experience, while growing my business and hopefully helping others along the way.The local market has obviously changed a lot in the last 10+ years since I was flipping full time.

I'm eager to succeed in this as I want real estate to be my avenue to financial freedom!

A lot of people in this market swear that it's still going to get higher, while a few financial "experts" seem to think that "winter is coming" (a correction).Besides the regular investment strategies (which I'm starting to implement soon), I really have the bug to put that FHA to work and get started (this would be my 2nd property, first is already a rental in Austin), I just think I'm missing something and I'd like your opinions. 

But, being committed to my family and financial freedom fueled my “Why”.

@James Colon,The MLS is a useful resource, and there are a ton of properties listed there.

Be sure to get connected with local groups like North Texas Association of Real Estate Investors (NTAREI), as they are a great resource. D
