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.

I know you said its the minority of people  that get those results however, what would help me to learn in my research and education, on  how to get there? 

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. 

Here are some practical steps you can take:First, make sure you have a clear and comprehensive written agreement.

So, you can get a mini-education as well. 2.

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

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

But without the proper education it's pretty much a waste of time. 

I don’t get why people would pay for an education when you could get it for free on bigger pockets. 

Find a mentor, continue education, analyze potential deals, and build a team of professionals.Good luck!
