@Kelvin Scott Welcome & congratulations on your move to Austin.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

@Jeremy Horton First of all I will like to Congratulate you because you are already doing what many wanna be investors don't do very often (Analyzing Deals).Yes, 90% of great market has been very competitive since March 2020 due to low inventory (The Law of Demand and Supply) and historically low interest rate (money is cheap).Since you did not specify your market, I will suggest you may try any or combination of the following and see it it helps your situation:Increase your down-paymentBe more realistic with CapEx (If property is newer or recently remodeled)Manage it yourself for the first 1 year if possibleIdentify and work with honest and experience wholesalersPut in some sweat equity if you have the risk tolerance and willing to take that route.Goodluck and don't give-up.

Congratulations on a great plan to get into our wonderful market.

I don't see how you'd make $ Congratulations! 

Rather than asking for mentorship and enlightenment without these people knowing you, if you bring them deals, drive for dollars for them, cold call leads for them, etc. you are providing them with real value and are much more likely to find someone that is willing to take you under their wing and help you hit the ground running on your own investing journey.Best of luck and congratulations on making the decision to get started investing in real estate, Hector!

@Trey Wimmer Hey Trey, congratulations on beginning your journey.
