Hello! I’m Amy, and I am just getting started as a Rental Property Investor!
Driven by a vision to unlock financial freedom for my family, I’m working on my strategic approach and keen eye for real estate investment...

My gut says you could find deals with better numbers and less risk - even if it meant investing  remotely - even though I’m not a huge fan of the additional expenses that remote investing entails.I wish you the best, but would encourage you to do some comparisons on other properties that are straight rentals without major renovations to see if they are easier / more straight forward avenues to get into real estate.  

The Domain area, Leander for the schools + being in the direct path of progress, and many more mentioned here are worth considering.

You're definitely on the right path to success!

When I did my first deal as an agent for my investor, I found the paperwork to be more straight forward, than a regular P&O agreement.

For me, real estate investing represents a quicker path to retirement, so I want to learn as much as I can.Looking forward to being a part of the group!

It's right there on the path!!!

Refi's with large lenders are commonly taking 90-120 days, and that is on a straightforward deal with no extra hurdles to jump.

Short term I am looking to continue down this path with the residential market.Eventually I'd like to pick up some commercial properties and look at other methods of investing (tax liens, notes, land development ,etc)

You are on the right path in the sense that, if you want to raise capital you should ask the folks who have the capital but nothing makes a RE Fund different than any other investor, private or institutional.
