Hello from Judith, new and eager to learn

Hi, I'm Judith. I help US real estate businesses find the right people, organize their contacts, and follow up.

I'm learning how investors find deals, how flips and rentals work, and how financing works, especially in Texas

I hope to meet investors, learn from their experiences, and maybe make friends in the community.

What advice would you give to someone new to the US real estate world?

Thanks for having me. Looking forward to learning

My advice will be read or listen to everything you can get hold of - like BiggerPockets podcasts, books on real estate etc. Approach other investors and offer them something, if nothing then labor. You will end up learning something from them. The market is not doing well right not and it's not one of the best times, but if you can survive now, it will be easier in normal times!

      Thank you, Vaibhav I really like your point about offering help to other investors and learning from them. Which BiggerPockets podcast episode or book would you recommend I start with?

    @Judith Chime welcome. Since you're focused on Texas, I'd find a local investor meetup there and just go listen for a few months. That's where I found a lot of the people I still lean on. You'll also notice quickly that keeping contacts organized and following up is something a lot of investors struggle with, so you're already bringing something useful to the table. Glad you're here.

      Thank you Matthew, I really appreciate the welcome and the advice I work remotely, so I'll look for some online Texas investor meetups and groups to listen in. And you're right, follow-up is where so many good deals get lost. Out of curiosity, what helped turn a meetup contact into a long-term partner for you?

    @Judith Chime mostly just showing up more than once. The first meeting is a handshake. By the third or fourth time, when you've actually followed up on something you talked about, it starts turning into a relationship. I also try to be useful before I need anything, even if it's just a contractor name or an honest opinion on a deal. Online groups work the same way if you keep showing up.

      Thank you, Matthew. "Be useful before you need anything" really stuck with me. I'll keep showing up and following up with the people I meet.

      Have a great weekend.
