New to Real Estate

Hello everyone, I'm new to real estate investing in Abilene, TX.  (But I've been listening to BP podcasts the last 2 months and read all the Rich Dad, Poor Dad books).  I would like to begin by purchasing a duplex or else house hack.  My budget is $80k.  Looking for beginner advice and also how to network with others in my region because I would like to partner on some deals, especially starting out.  I do have a W2 job, so my real estate activity will be a side hustle for now.  Does anybody know of any real estate groups in Abilene, other than the groups for realtors?

Real estate investment is a fruitful journey in Abilene, TX. To get started, get familiar with things like BiggerPockets or learn particular strategies like duplex investment and house hacking. Attend real estate events or join local real estate groups. It is essential to build relationships. Popup Meetup, LinkedIn, Facebook Groups and other online platforms can be helpful in this endeavor. Start things small by choosing smaller properties like duplexes or single-family units for house hacking, and seek guidance from expert investors or professionals. By merging learning, interaction and doing, you can build a solid base for your investment path in real estate in Abilene.

Good luck!
