Howdy Bigger Pockets Clan, my name is Daniel Sanchez but I am have branded myself as HowdyDany. I am a student at Texas A&M University and a realtor in the College Station and Houston area. I have been a long-time Bigger Pockets fan (books + podcast) but never interacted with the website. I am looking to provide value to the broader community but at the same time absorb the bountiful knowledge. My goal is to have my first rental property by the start of next summer. What are the 3 non-negotiables that I should be doing to acquire my first rental in around 6 months?

Cheers!

Welcome @Daniel Sanchez - my 3 non-negotiables would be to familiarize yourself with your credit score and the things you can do to improve it, figure out how much money you will need upfront so you can be prepared, and identify a target zone or zones in which to buy. 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need any help with financing your first rental. Good luck!
