hey guys im new into the real estate investing world i am 19 years old and i have some knowledge on wholesaling but reaching out for any tips or recommendations from everyone . i live in the montgomery/conroe tx are BTW

I have cash & credit but no real world knowledge on how to find deals.  

Preferably a local bank or credit union.

I paid the mortgage off years ago but do have an equity loan and line of credit on it in my name.I am looking to find a good group to work with and partner with as i begin, and my goal is in 3-5 years to be able to match my monthly net income, although i have no idea how it will all work so thats very tentative.I do know in the end i would like to have a net income that will allow me to leave my day job or be able to supplant it if for some reason it were lost. i am really driven to succeed at this.

David Stone , a traditional bank will look at your debt to income, credit score, and they will not consider the rent from the duplexes as income usually until you've been a landlord for two years, they will also want 20% down, plus closing costs, plus slightly higher investor interest rate, plus probably want you to prove you have 6 months of cash reserves or equivalent marketable securities.

Does anyone have any insight or experience with this issue, and any tips on which insurance to choose for large groups of bachelorette parties, families, and random drunks in Wine Country?

I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on locating properties (multi-family, apartment, etc.). 

Any and all helpful tips and suggestions are welcome.
