Hi everyone,
Though my name appears to be Ghith, I go by Jace. I am 24 years old and new to real estate. I am originally from Syria and live in Houston, TX near the Galleria area. I am very passionate about real estate and would love to dedicate my efforts and time into it. I have been reading BP's ultimate beginner's guide and have been educating myself about it. Though I am still not sure what best to focus on, I am inclined more towards investing in multi-family properties and use the buy&hold strategies. I would love to be involved with this community.
I would love for someone to tell me who I can consult about my current financial situation and real estate deals.
Thank you

Welcome to BP @Ghith Alrestom - it’s good to have you here. You live in a good market and even Texas is generally a good state for finding profitable deals.
Going multi-family buy and hold is a good choice for scaling fast. Finding a particular target like that to focus on in the beginning is important. You can always branch out to other areas of REI (wholesaling, flipping, etc) later if you want.
Who to consult? You can find folks on BP willing to answer questions, review deals, and otherwise help. You can also use this site (and the Meet Up app) to find a local REI group. That will help build your local connections.
In the meantime dig into the podcasts, webinars, books, blogs, and forums. Get good with the “math” by using the calculators so you can identify a good deal. PRO members get unlimited use of the calculators.
In the forums don’t forget to tag someone by username with the “@“ symbol if you want a response. Doing that will trigger an e-mail to them so know to return to the forum.
Good luck as you get started!
