@Lisa Choi seams like we are certainly speaking the same language Lisa! Are you licensed there in SA? Or do you just wholesale? Let's connect! 

@Jay Hinrichs thank you! Yes it does! 

Good Evening Everyone!

Crazy to think how much bigger pockets has changed my life but I have almost never get on the forums even though I listen every day. I was a Federal Agent for the Department of Homeland Security when I got into investing back in 2021. listening to Brandon and David on the podcast I fell in love with it all and dove right in. Started out buying small multi family thinking that was my best option, then I learned about the BRRRR process and now I am doing that at scale! we have about 3-4 BRRRR's a month going on now. a lot of people talk about a "perfect BRRRR" being when you get all your mom back out of the deal. that would be a WORST deal for me lol. I am profiting 50-75K on every BRRRR I do. looking to connect with more BP fans in Texas. Most of my portfolio is in Corpus Christi TX. I was able to step away from my job with DHS in 2023 and my real estate journey has taken off even more. I got my license in 2024 just to have MLS access. I Do represent myself on all my purchases if they are listed as well as I represent a couple of my buddies locally who are investors. Love to talk shop! I recently started a RE Youtube channel @investorplaywithgabe sharing all my on going projects and things Ive learned along the way! would be a great resource for someone just starting out or wanting to scale. I didn't come from money or a trust fund baby. I started with just money I had saved by house hacking renting my rooms of my rental out to other agents and saving every penny I could, no college degree and now have a portfolio valued in the 8 figures and have retired at age 31. Lets connect! if your looking to get into a new market or if you are in Texas! I am also expanding more into Houston and San Antonio areas as well.

@Richard A Young

Awesome sent him a message! Thank you!

Hello BP world,

Relocated to Texas couple years back, trying to get my system and teams together. Have my first SFH for a BRRRR in the San Antonio area under contract and looking for who investors use for the rehab's! Any advice or personal experience shared in the area would be much appreciated. Also if your local would love to meet up and talk shop. Thanks everyone!

@Kevin Mcilnay

Depends on your lender, my hard money guy has their own refi person and they don’t require a seasoning period. But most lenders will, so do your homework with who you plan to refi with beforehand

@Dan Sheeks

Thanks for the reply Dan I’ll give it a read and let you know! Appreciate your time.

What’s up BP world,

First time posting on the site but have been following along the podcast/books for some time. I’m a young investor that has saved up some capital and looking to get out of the stock market and into real estate. I have a full time good paying job that I plan to keep(for now). But I’ve always had multiple streams of income and have been spending about the last 6-12 months doing my DD before I drive into RE investing. And that time has come. I’m sure this gets asked often on here but I am looking for a mentor in the SA area who I can network with and learn from. I know this isn’t gonna come without something in return so I’m open for discussion. Looking to find good GC’s, agents, lenders. I’m a good listener and always succeeded when I put my mind to something, I had my first offer on a tri plex in SA accepted this week and going through the option stage now. I have some roots sprouted with different people throughout SA but I’m always trying to learn more. I’m from New York originally only been in Texas for the last couple years so building relationships with handy man and Gc’s has been tough since I moved here for work not knowing anyone. But I’m up for the challenge!

Thanks in advance for any insight.
