Welcome to BP! Make sure to read the articles regarding investing with your life partner, they are really good! I just started out myself, and in order to get my wife onboard, I share those articles with her, to motivate her about RE :)

Hi and welcome @Kate Wright! Make sure to read the forums whenever you have a question (someone before you have most likely asked the same question) and also dont be afraid to ask members directly! Enjoy and most importantly, have fun!

Hi @Caroline Egbert and welcome to BP! As a newbie investor myself, I advice you to search the forums whenever you have a question and also ask members! BP is like a big real estate family who support each other a lot!

Hey @Rafael Pacheco and welcome to BP! I am a very new investor myself and am using BP a lot to increase my knowledge as well as getting in touch with investors all over the country. Be sure to give of yourself and don't be afraid to contact people and ask them questions. Also, check out the forums because a lot of questions have already been asked by others and are answered in the forums :) Best of luck!

A lot of great points made above. I am also starting to invest in San Antonio (and Houston). I see that the market in SA is getting hot and properties have multiple offers. The numbers often stop working for me when several offers are made on the property. If you look into the lower income areas, then you may find deals, I try to stay away from them, at least for my first few deals as I've been told that those areas have higher crime rates. When it comes to finding a realtor, it's a numbers game. Call the offices and ask for a "investor friendly" realtor. Best of luck!

This is a great quote:

Do you know who said it, and would you mind if we put it in our weekly investor's Newsletter?

Thanks. That quote is my own twist on a quote from the movie The Santa Clause: "Seeing isn't believing. Believing is seeing." - Little Elf Judy.

Sure, go ahead and put it in the weekly investor's Newsletter :)

Thank you @Marco Santarelli for explaining! Yeah that's what I found out, it is a seller's market in SA. And also thank you for the link, I'll check it out.

@Babe Savage You can do your due diligence by going to the property and take a look (bringing somebody who knows what faults to look for would be a good idea).

You can also make an offer on the property and have it under contract and then do your due diligence. If you are not happy with the property, you can step out of the contract within the due diligence period (inspection period).

Good luck!
