Rick, thank you for your reply.
Yes, I have not given much context... my apologies.
I believe I am pretty stable financially. I already own a house and have enough saved to start investing now.
I am looking at the Houston market since it is where i live now, but i'm a little worried of how expensive all it is here. I saw many new investors stayed around the 150 - 200k

Hello all,
i am a newbie investor. I am starting to look for duplex/triplex in the Houston area.
i am working with a realtor who's sending some properties my way, but, as probably most of you, i am not 100% certain if i should go big on my first deal or play it safe in a different area (out of Texas maybe) and start with a much lower investment.
What is your advice/experience?
You probably had this question a million times already, so i apologize in advance.
Your insights are much appreciated.

Hello all,
after reading and preparing as much as possible, it is finally time to kick it into gear. I am meeting a realtor i have worked with in the past today, who is also an investor himself, and will chat about what my goals are etc.
As a newbie investor I have a few questions and points I will bring up during our conversation, but wanted a word of advice from you gurus on what would you ask a realtor (or what DID you ask your realtor) when you started your journey.
Much appreciated!!
Thanks,
David

Hello everyone,
my name is David T from Houston, TX (even though I am actually from Italy).
Glad to be on BP with all of you!
As you can tell I am new to the world of real estate investing, but I've been doing my due diligence!! I have been reading books for beginners like me and listening to all the BP podcasts.
Some of the stories are really fascinating!
Anyhow, I just wanted to quickly introduce myself. I've been saving a bit of cash to start my RE investing journey where I'll be focusing on multifamily properties in no-income tax/low property tax states.
My goal is to purchase my first 4-plex by Q3 22.
I'm already actively reading the forum(s) and will have a lot more questions in the upcoming days/weeks.
Eager to get to work and, again, pleasure to virtually meet you!
David
