Don't limit yourself my friend.  

I am retired and looking to learn and make friends with folks who share the real estate bug.

I put down 5 percent of the down payment on a duplex that cost 290k, once I moved in the mortgage was 1589, I rented out a room for my friend for 650.

Should I look into an investor-friendly Real Estate agent? 

I've been recommending it to all my friends. 

I have read that the competition for REOs is usually high which also jacks up the price higher than it should be.

-I constructed my team to consist of the cream of the crop Property Management Team in Dallas, a partner that owns and operates 200M in Real Estate, and I moved to the city that I invest so that I can submerge myself in the market... super check.I don't think that the credibility and experience I've amassed is anything special, but I do think that it sufficient enough to entice warm traffic for a conversation about investing with us..By warm traffic I mean family and friends who have consistently asked that I let them know when I get a deal that they'd be able to participate in (and my goodness what a deal this is).
