We have a GroupMe in DFW that we exchange ideas and it is an easy way to get direct support from other investors in the area.How to choose the write strategy, you have to educate yourself and create a good team around you that you can trust.Feel free to DM me for access to the groupme.

Beruk,Congrats on your new journey in real estate, I suggest that you get a mentor that will get you going in the right direction and always invest into education rather it's book, seminars, courses, mentorships etc.

Educate yourself on how to better handle each one of those issues, starting with the most immediate problems first.

My main focus these next 6 months is to educate myself and continue to add to my savings for down payment and reserves.
