Thank you everyone who was able to attend yesterday. It was great party.

I enjoyed meeting and having quick chat with most of you and to put the face to your profile. It was bit chilly but didn't stop you all from coming. We will do it again next year for sure.

Thank you all for the donations as well. We collected around $220 which will go towards my charity sponsoring kids education.

Happy and Safe Holidays to everyone!!   Let's continue to learn, grow and successful !!

@Swetha Narayanan What @Chris Hopper mentioned is the trend we have seen in the past in the forums. People just show up which doesn't really show their seriousness and they put a post and expect to get a life changing answer. They never even bother to follow up or say Thank you to who take time to reply. Nobody is trying to discourage anyone. We all know that every one is busy, every needs to work on their financial well being and improve on it. 

Being said, we just need people to take it bit serious on effort so we all share our thoughts to help out.  

From your post, you want to buy property inside loop which you want to rent and also use it as vacation home. It's possible through AirBNB but it needs lot of work. AirBNB is not for light of hearts. It needs coordination with guests all the time. If you are busy with your work all day, this might not be great way. 

Do you have a long term goal? What are you looking to accomplish? Passive Income or Capital growth?   Try to figure out the goal and then you can plan and take action accordingly. We can guide you accordingly as well. 

@Ian Middleton Looking forward to meet you and lots other BP investors tomorrow.

Houston BP Investors Holiday Party 2019

@Ricky Bass My Partner is our CE and GC as well which helps to keep the cost low and split the profit.

@Tyus Foster  It's good confusion to have. I have started RE as my side gig and I am still doing it as side gig but as a 2nd job. Yes, I started 10 years ago to diversify my skill set to dodge the great depression job cuts. It has helped so much and now I am broker with 10+ agents and still doing my consulting job full time. My plan for my son who is 8th grader is to get him to learn the ropes and when he finishes college I want him to get license to do RE on the side. BTW, that will be suggestion to him :-) 

Time is money and Relationship is business in Real estate. You create relationship by connecting with people and having job helps you tremendously including having steady income to pay your bills and get your credit score going... 

As few other said, don't hesitate to try RE as your side gig until you can replace the commission with your full time job. 

@Shawn Ab  Thanks for the reply. Where are they located?? I don't like to market myself in BP. You can see my info in my profile and all the references from investors in BP profile as well. If you want to ping me, I can try to help out. 

Is it just standalone duplex and multiplex not connected to any HOA or apartment?

@Begona Miron You can find my info on my profile or use connect and PM me if you want to talk about it. 

@Begona Miron I have to respectively disagree with Adam comment. I am solo investor myself but have little more experience than new comer. I was able to buy a lot and construct townhome SFH and sell it last September and made some profit. Yes, there is opportunity available and you are not fighting with any big timers. You just have to pick the right location, right lot and right builder to partner. BTW, I am not doing in anything inside loop. That's different game all together. Check out my post regarding my experience,
