Small niches in the real estate game to make money

[Justin Schiller]

Hello, all. Not to put my laundry out there but I recently got laid off. I'm trying to look at this as an opportunity to start learning and doing real estate in some niche of the industry but I don't know what to do or where to start. My ultimate goal is to flip and rehab homes eventually but right now I need to start somewhere. I have seriously considered starting my own property preservation business but have been discouraged by many saying it's a dying industry. I have enough saved to live off for awhile so if anybody has any guidance for a guy who wants to work his *** off to be financially independent in the Houston/ Corpus area, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
