Everything I’ve read or listened to says going to meet ups is the best way to connect and build relationships.

It's clear to see Alot of people on this thread  don't want to share secrets but there's ways to do anything in real estate brother just have to connect w the right ppl & not the ones who are against competition 

Hey Arson, can we connect?

After my last post in this thread I received an interesting alert, that Mr Lenza was requesting to connect with me, and I had a message in my inbox.

Next, connect and work with an investor-focused agent, preferably, someone who works with house hackers like yourself on a routine basis.

It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.Happy to connect to discuss further.

I connected with a realtor through Bigger Pockets and they helped me navigate the area based on what I was looking for.

The rates for our loans for investors including DSCR loans, Fix-n-Flip Loans, and Ground-Up Spec Construction (as well as the rates for consumer Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA rates) are driven by Treasury Rates as opposed to the Fed Funds rate, but there is a loose connection.

Would be happy to help get you connected. 

That will help you connect with other investors in the DFW area.
