New Investor, No Money, How/Where Do I Start?
Hey guys! My name is Ian Hill and I recently moved to the Dallas/ Fort Worth area about 5 months ago. I stumbled upon real estate investing from a YouTube video and got "The Bug". I've started studying different strategies, started reading some books, joined my local REIA , and met a few people in the process. My issue is that I don't know if I need to start with a strategy like wholesaling to build capital that will eventually allow me to invest in rental/multi family or if there a different way to go about this? I'm highly committed, but I feel as if I lack direction. Any and all input is accepted and appreciated!
PS: If there is ANYONE in the area that would like to meet up and bounce ideas or talk business and strategies coffee will be provided! lol

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent. There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
I love answering questions if you have any! Good Luck :)
