Thanks @Troy Fisher ,I didn't talk about it much at the meetup because it's a longer-term thing..

@Troy Fisher I had a RE agent share a property like this in W.

@Troy Fisher I did catch that.

@Troy FisherI realise your are trying to be funny more so than insulting, but you may want to read-up a little on world politics and demographics.

@Troy Fisher  I have been on an Armando bus and many other turn key providers bus tours.. you should try it some time its fun. 

There are now quotas in most fisheries and my brothers, like you, are often out of work, or nearly so, after 4 - 6 months.Rather than give-up that job, you can always find another for the offseason ... perhaps that would be in real-estate ... start out partnering up with more seasoned investors - your labour and boots on the ground and their experience and capital - for a small piece of the action and before you know it, you're ready/able to take the lead on your own deals (once you have a track record, finding partners won't be terribly hard).

@Gareth FisherI have mixed emotions about paying down my primary mortgage. 

If you want to borrow money, @Troy Fisher is the go to guy.

@Alex Fisher I am also new to real estate investing and am trying to start with wholesaling.

To be sure, Texas has more minimum-wage jobs than any other state, and only Mississippi exceeds it with the most minimum-wage workers per capita.But Fisher is talking here about new jobs, and according to the Dallas Fed, only 28 percent of the jobs created in or relocated to Texas since 2001 pay in the lowest quarter of the nation’s wage distribution.
