I have to be honest, if I were you, I would find an agent who represented me, they will save you move money just in negotiations, knowing the process etc.I cant tell you how many times my agent have paid for themselves just in the negotiations on price, or finding things in inspections or even just recommending we pass on a deal that wasnt a deal.

My name is Justin Tejeda, I am a recent college graduate living in San Marcos, Texas ( one of the fastest growing cities in America).

@Justin Stanfield,   Good call on the roof, I missed the part where it was going on top of the shingles.

Hey @Justin Wade welcome to BiggerPockets and to the real estate game once again!

@Justin Ebling Well to start, I would like to get into buy/hold investing.  

Lots of books about investing  not just in real estate but also in commodity markets.

The trend worldwide - not just in the states or Europe - is urbanization.

But that's a regular market cycle and nothing I am personally worried about, just in the contrary, it provides great opportunities to buy.The argument the a single family portfolio is more risky than one large multi family is nonsense.

There is a monthly Meet up at a current REI project put on by some San Diego BP members (@Justin R., @Parker Cox, @Kevin Fox, @Tim G.).
