I only have small bits of advice in REI, but I've built successful companies in the past so can talk your ear off about that side of things.Anyways, thanks for reading and please reach out!

My problem is today I'm looking at Dallas - Fort Worth area, tomorrow at Nashville TN area, then Indianapolis, then I read some posts here and I move to Columbus, OH, or Atlanta, GA.

Before you go, do your homework and read the city ordinances that you can have in the city website.

@Braden Smith @Ron Collins @Sam Brooks Hey guys, I was just reading over the post and a meet up sounds great.

I'd suggest that you start reading, listening to BP blogs and Podcasts.

I’m new in this and I’m super excited to learn everything that I could about real estate , any recommendation about books that I should be reading ?

Read the LA RSO Handbook many, many times.

The only glitch though is from what I read, that the banks will stop offering a mortgage somewhere after a few mortgages (depending on the bank I guess). 

$40,000 will likely get you a $150,000 house at 20% down, closing costs and a small budget for repairs.I would continue the first 1/2 of 2019 educating yourself on real estate(reading books, podcasts and analyzing properties on the MLS).Good luck to your investing career.

I monitor the Houston forum, so I have read many of your posts - The primary theme I see in your posts is that you generously offer your time and expertise to new investors and allow a group of new or wannabe investors the opportunity to walk your flips and tag along with you while you are looking for or working on a project - very generous of you - I see that you were able to give an amazing opportunity to a new investor when she may have not had the confidence to move forward on her own without your guidance - I am a fan of collaborating with other investors when you do not have the funds to complete a project on your own ... it can be a win/win opportunity that otherwise would have to be passed up ......However, when I read the details in this post, a few things come to mind - it seems that you used very little of your own money ...$5,000?
