Although I have the means to I live a more luxurious lifestyle, I live frugally.

/Canada.What's your lifestyle expectation, what's your objective ?  

I met a gentleman who is part of Lifestyles Unlimited when I cold called him regarding a property of his in Austin.

IMHO most of his books are just motivated books which I guess is ok if you need it but really there are better motivational books out there(including the bible for those who are religious or religious curious).But as far as actual real estate education he is so vague it's not really worth getting his materials.

@James Marshall...Amen brutha (and I'm not religious)!!!!  

I'm a low overhead, lifestyle kind of a person.

We would rather he had bought a great cash flowing fixer-upper in a cheaper area, moved in, fixed it up, turned it into a rental, repeat, until he's built up enough cash flow to cover a mortgage in the area he wants, but he's happier with the lifestyle he has, and he's earned it after graduating from college.   

My girlfriend is trying to get me into two-stepping, so I have that going for me, which is nice.I've been devouring free stuff online for the past week or so and my next step is to attend some free seminars at RICH and Lifestyles Unlimited.What other things can a newbie in Houston do to start meeting the rest of the community?

I talk about self managing from a distance with steps, turning a transient lifestyle into an asset and personals turned rentals.Look forward to seeing you around Biggerpockets!

Then you've got the Wealth Club and Lifestyles Unlimited; the latter can get a bit pricey.
