Any Investment Guru's in the Austin TX area?

Question

Are there any Real Estate pros in the Austin area? I recently moved here and looking for some guidance and to connect.

There are a couple of great places to start.
Investor Underground and Contractor Underground are Facebook groups with a ton of activity on it.
Austin Infill Coalition is a private group of investors and developers - membership is around $200 a year but everyone there knows their stuff.
HBA might be an option.

Those top two are probably the places I'd start. Facebook first because it's free.

@Shane Davis My hand is up. I have a few rentals. I have been buying and selling for the past 20 years or so in Austin. I am also a very active broker as well. What would you like to know? There are many investment groups out there. It depends on your focus. If your interest is hospitality then a home flipper group may not be relevant to your interests.

@Shane Davis Define Guru? Are you looking for an investor-friendly agent? Wholesaler? Flipper? Multi-family rental owner? BP is a great community filled with many talented resources. If you read through this thread and others you will find the gurus you are seeking. Good luck!

Everyone in Austin is a "guru" depending on what they're trying to get out of you. I would try to network with as many people as you can before entering into any paid version of mentorship. There are plenty of smart investors in Austin willing to help out as long as you're willing to put in the work and not treat it as a hobby. As an investor, your most valuable asset is your time, so when working with anyone serious, you want to bring some form of effort and critical thinking to questions/scenarios or you won't be looked at as being serious. Make yourself available on their schedule. Also, think of what you bring to the table for the investor. There's always a debit/credit system to these types of relationships.

Don't be offended if an investor puts you off from time to time. As stated above, we're always wishing there were more time in a day.

Hope this helps! Happy learning.

There are many talented investors here. Austin is a very sophisticated RE Investor market compared to most other places in the Country.

Austin isn't my market personally but I network with a lot of investors up there. Sent you a colleague request so we can connect.
