Plus, you can also access the entire spectrum of investments: debt/equity, commercial/residential, income generating/speculative.

We are newbies at opposite ends of the spectrum.

If something bad happens ( get sick, lose my job etc) at least I have a place to live and only have to worry about the taxes etcSo you have to factor in risk....with bigger risk, you have the potential for bigger reward...but also the potential for bigger failure....you have to decide on where in that spectrum YOU want to play

The next one is on August 12th at 1pm at 100 S Broad St, 5th Floor.

Find a few mentors that are successful in the area of real estate investing that you want to be in (it's a very broad field) and listen to them.

Though this may be a bit of a broad outreach I wanted to know if any of you was willing to get in contact with me (can reply to this message or DM me) and give me pointers on some contractors that work in the San Antonio area.

The neighborhood classes in that broad of area will vary a lot.

I won't get out of bed for $100 a door like they advertise.Most of our money is in broadly diversified low cost index funds with low expense ratios.I'm back to high savings APY accounts at 3% (HM Bradley) and index funds.I wish the absolute best to you and your family during this journey!

Otherwise, agents, wholesale and turn key providers can come from all areas of the spectrum.

The plan is to get a Investor Explorer subscription for a month to consider a broad range of markets.
