Hi @Jamie CruceThe best advice I can give someone new to investing is to try your best to meet as many people in the industry as people.

Trying to transition from the oil industry to real estate in the houston market.

But on the flip side I have seen people even renting parking spots.

I've been in the construction industry for 30 years, Have held/do hold General Contractor and Electrical Contractors licenses in Massachusetts and Florida.

My wife is about to sit for her Real Estate license exam and we're both excited about what this industry has to offer.We have 3 children and really enjoy what this area of the country has to offer our family with the business and recreational aspects.

He said they generally work in the developements, and it's a good way to learn the industry and how things work.

I'll connect with you as this has been my industry for years.  

I got into the oil & gas industry as a technical writer, and did that full-time until the market crashed in early 2015.

The small business start-up statistics as well as the large corporate headquarters; medical and IT industries to name two!
