Welcome! Southern California can be challenging, but it's possible if you find the right deal. Many investors here look out of state to start, especially in markets with lower entry points where BRRRR can work well. As for capital, it really varies, but a realistic ballpark might be around $50-100K, depending on the market. Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat strategies—I'd be happy to share insights!

Great question! Each city’s approach can play a unique role, but zoning for higher density developments stands out as a powerful strategy, albeit a tough one to get passed. By expanding density, a city like Dallas would multiply the housing supply, which naturally helps balance demand and affordability. Subsidized housing and incentives for developers to create affordable units are also critical, especially for supporting lower-income families. A combination of these approaches could create lasting, scalable solutions across Texas. I spend a lot of my time making sure my company is a part of that housing impact, so feel free to reach out if you want to know more.

Welcome, Ken! It sounds like you’re on the right track by building a strong knowledge base. A good starting point might be deciding whether you want to focus on rental properties, flipping, or another niche—each has its own learning curve and opportunities.

Welcome, Robert! Mid-term rental and BRRRR strategies are definitely solid approaches to start with. Having some capital to deploy gives you a lot of flexibility, and it's smart to explore different strategies to build that long-term wealth.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned from a macro perspective is to run your own race. There’s so many people who will make you think they are having more success than you, you may want to change paths, etc. Set your goals, take a conservative approach, trust the data, and if it doesn’t make sense, don’t do it.

As someone who works in the DFW area, I know firsthand how the right location in Texas can make a huge difference in your success. Urban areas like Austin and Dallas are appealing for growth potential and job markets, but the suburbs and smaller towns offer more unique opportunities (lower entry costs and a steady flow of families and retirees seeking affordability and space). It really depends on your long-term goals and how much work you want to put in. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat more about it!
