I am considering options such as launching my own business to working a 9-5 to working in the real estate industry and many more. 

We are preapproved and ready to get going but need to explore our options and get as much good advice as possible. 

Some people like to bet big and potentially lose big, we prefer to place medium size bets and consistently win more modest rewards.By primarily investing in properties with an all-in cost under $100,000, we often have multiple viable exit strategies in case the original one does not work out (we don’t pretend to have a guaranteed crystal ball, but we do like to have options at the end, and we find that our students do as well!)

It may be worth speaking with a different lawyer or financial advisor to get a second opinion and weigh the pros and cons of each option before making a decision.

That is, that lease options are illegal in Texas.

Hello Justin, Hard money may be a good option.

I sign up for this all in 2019 for this is the first time I’ve logged in.I bought a place in 2018, remodeled and sold in 2022 and chased my dream of 20 years of moving to Jackson Wy however investing here in not an option since I’m not a billionaire sooooo I am planning my next moves and looking to invest.I have roughly $30K (potentially $50K) to invest in a flex and flip as I’m not sure I could do the landlord thing.I have been looking in places I would like to actually live which is eastern Oregon, North central/East Tennessee, Rapid City or Naples-Clearwater Florida areas.I have even considered building (having a builder build it) new or spec home so if anyone knows of any reputable builders?

Another option is "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller.

Does anyone know if buying a lot is a good investment option?
