Hi, I'm Will from Houston, TX. I am heavily interested in beginning my RE Investing journey as soon as possible, as I stumbled across BiggerPockets earlier this year. I would love to discuss some steps that an inexperienced investor like me could take to start out, along with some possible investors that would like to meet up and discuss ideas in the Houston area. I am extremely eager to learn and get excellent advice from someone who has great expertise in real estate!

Hi William. I see from your bio that you are in college. A good way to start could be to try to purchase a house to househack, and rent the rooms to some of your buddies. That way most or all of your mortgage is getting paid for and your friends have a nice play to stay.  I'm househacking in Houston and think it is one of the easiest ways to get started.
