I want to see what I can do to get started.BRRRR also seems very interesting and powerful although rehabbing a house seems a bit intimidating at this point in time, especially when I am working my 9 to 5 during the workweek.To reach my goals, I will continue learning about REI through the podcasts, the weekly webinars, real estate books, and joining Houston real estate meetups, either in person or online, to network with local investors, share ideas, and see what they are doing to have success in REI in Houston.These are my initial thoughts and goals.

A little about me: I'm a mom of two teenage boys 13 & 15, I'm 33 I have an online fashion boutique, I once was selling products on the amazon platform but stopped for the moment (I plan to get back to it).

Check out other online guides available here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides3.

Some of the data points I'm evaluating are:Population growth rateUnemployment rateJob growth rateWage growth rateMedian housing priceMedian rentI'm wondering where to find the best online data sources.

@Richard A.Scotty Oots has both of his assignment contracts available for free online.

I would suggest searching online and then reaching out to them.

I've got one PM from a personal recommendation and found two others online I'll be calling to interview shortly.

Taxes are section 1200.When available (some of our local counties have it, not all) we will check back taxes online before visiting to see if there could be a hiccup.There was one contract that had about $15k in owned taxes that was beyond the period we could see online (it was like 1 year in the 80s not paid in full).

Hi @Brandon Baker,I would suggest reading Profit First and then open several local bank accounts to you or open bank accounts at Schwab (all online banking). 

Thank you all for the good information, I also studying real estate classes online to get my license very soon.
