Would love to hear from anyone who has great hands on experience...owns property here...and hopefully has lived in Austin for a while.I've traveled all over Texas for many years on business but never made it to Austin...It just seems like a really hip cool groovy place to live and work.

I have garnered a wealth of information from Bigger Pockets, since I started browsing this site, and the information provided, is all practical, cut to the chase topics - geared towards personal development, as well as giving a hands on approach to investing.My background is in the administrative/clerical field, in addition to have owned and operated a cleaning business for 8 years, then went into the insurance, then medical field.

I went to the Lake county sale today and they handed out the sales for the day with the minimum bids which was super helpful..

What paper do I want in my hands that will provide me a good level of assurance that they've gone through the necessary steps?

I have read more or less every real estate book I can get my hands on here in the last 3 months or so.

When i was ten my father had us working around the house so i was not afraid to get my hands dirty.

Hi everyone,I'm a new member here on BiggerPockets and located in Rockland County, New York.The past few months I've been reading/listening to any and every real estate book, Audiobook, and podcast that I can get my hands on.

Read everything you can get your hands on.

IE follow our own Brian Gibbons who does wholesaling of leased/optioned properties that take very little cash to get into.You'll meet folks in the REIAs and along the way who you might ask if you can sign onto as well.Folks will want to hire a gumption'ed person they see first hand vs coming in on a resume.

WHAT / If you dont respond to questions - raise your hands ....
