Hello Bigger Pockets Community,My fiancé and I are beginning our real estate investment journey but we live and work in one of the most expensive markets in the world - even though we are 20 minutes from San Francisco there is not a property in our city listed at under 1 million (yes).So I recently took a trip to Costa Rica for the sole purpose of identifying regions we would like to invest in and ended up finding a fantastic little condo for our starter property.

I am new here and am interested in learning more about creative financing as an option to begin investing in real estate.

Any other tips for a new real estate investor?

@Tyler SteinkeI’m having a real hard time getting past the $100 / month profit on a $510,000 investment!  

In most states a real estate salesperson can't manage property.

Real estate can be an amazing tool for reducing taxes.

I’m trying to get started in real estate investing.

@Ken LivingstonRule number one for maximizing your income in real estate  is to not spend money that doesn’t earn you money unless you have to.  

After Fort Worth and before Austin, the other two cities in the top 5 were Phoenix, Arizona (No. 3) and Sacramento, California (No. 4).Other Texas cities in the top 25 best large economic boomtowns were El Paso (No. 16) and San Antonio (No. 23).We've seen major growth in the Sacramento real estate market.
