Ive been reading books, going to seminars, listening to the bigger pockets podcasts and webinars and it all has helped me so much, but I feel like something is missing.

@Ryan SommerWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

Which brings me to a big reason why I found bigger pockets.

I have been looking more into vacant land (retipster.com has been a great resource) but I'm curious what other resources were helpful to you as you got started?

You have found a great site for knowledge and resources here.

@Luke Tomashek  Welcome to Bigger Pockets! 

We are mostly interested in Buy and Hold Investments, with an emphasis on multi-family units, but we are also considering the occasional flip when the market is right I found the Bigger Pockets podcasts on YouTube and am hooked, I'm so excited to have access to such an awesome community, especially being a newbie!

Lots of resources.  

@Monique Lahti Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

I hope you find these helpful.Landlording on Autopilot by Mike ButlerBP's own The Book on Managing Rental Properties by Brandon and Heather TurnerThe Unofficial Guide to Managing Rental Properties by Melissa PrandiI think it'd be worth the time to also look specifically at books or resources on how to manage property managers, as an out-an-state investor with regard to Texas.
