Welcome to BP and your new work and investment endeavors! I am located in DFW and am not sure if you are looking initially in state or out for an imvestment property. More than happy to make referrals and can recommend @Denver McClure and @Whitney Nash for starters.

Thank you, Jeff! I want to get started locally and expand out from there. I appreciate the recommendations. Great to connect with you!

Hi Renee, welcome to BiggerPockets! This is surely the best place to start networking and learning. I always recommend the book “Rich dad, Poor dad” by Robert T. Kiyosaki to anyone starting out. Start listening to the BiggerPockets podcast starting at the very beginning and start growing your network, look on Facebook/BiggerPockets for different events, find a mentor doing what you want to do, and get to know the local lenders/brokers. All the best to your real estate journey!

Hi Renee! Welcome to Bigger Pockets. The world is your oyster and if you can think something then you can do it as Napoleon Hill mentioned in his book "Think & Grow Rich". That is the concept that I lived and still live by.
I would first recommend finding your core 4 and reading as many bigger pocket books as you can. I personally read "BRRRRR" by David Greene and "Multi-Family Millionaire" Vol 1 &2 by Brandon Turner. Those 2 concepts will really help you grasp how to get started in real estate and SCALE SCALE SCALE!
If you are house-hacking, I would choose a B+ location or better because you will not get too many opportunities to house-hack. You can use an FHA loan conventional 5% down loan (Find one without a PMI) that has great loan terms.
