New to BP, but not to DFW
Hey BP-ers,
I wanted to formally introduce myself and ask for any advice that you might offer to a new real estate agent & investor. My name is Kyle Bilton and I have grown up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Today, my wife, 2 year old daughter, and I live in Arlington which is perfectly central to both Dallas and Fort Worth. For the past 5 years, I've been teaching for Dallas ISD as a social studies teacher. Although I loved teaching and have a teacher's heart, I am ready for a new challenge in real estate. I plan on being in it for the long haul.
I bought my first investment home in 2013 and have purchased 2 more since then. I have a very solid mortgage lender, a reliable home inspector, and a great tile/flooring guy. And I'm not afraid to swing a hammer as well.
I would love to work with other new investors, either by helping them find a house or doing a flip together.
For those experienced BP-ers, any advice for a brand new agent/investor working in a hot market?

Welcome to BP Kyle! If you want some good advice and learn from local agents you should definitely join the Arlington RE meetup hosted by @Jibran Najmi. He usually holds meetups at Grease Monkey. My wife is about to take her RE exam this month and he was able to give her some great advice. Good luck investing!
