New real estate agent from Houston, TX looking to learn!

Hello everyone!

My name is RK Rasos, and I'm a relatively new real estate agent. (And no...I'm not here to beg for referrals or anything).

In my first year as an agent, I've come to find that there are not many investor-friendly agents out there(or maybe I haven't met any). I do not want to be grouped with a bunch of low-information agents, so I've decided to focus a good deal of my time to learn as much about investing as possible. I'd love to provide my clients with the best service possible. I've listened to a couple of BP podcasts, and I plan on frequenting this forum A LOT.

I also plan on investing as soon as I have enough saved up. My parents own a few rental properties, and I definitely would feel comfortable have a couple(or a lot) of my own. I'm leaning towards the Buy-Rehab-Rent-Refi. approach, and then flips sprinkled in afterwards.

As someone who's relatively new, which direction would you point me?

Which books should I read?

What podcasts to listen to(other than BP)?

Any general tips that you would give a newbie?

Maybe someone can post some informative links in the forum as well.

Thanks for taking the time to read the post...And even more thanks if you take some time to reply!

- RK

There are also a lot of meet ups in Houston that you can learn about RE investing. Real Acquisitions has some, Prosperity and Capital Concepts is having a lunch and learn on Nov 17. Hope to see you around.
