First I agree that your property is cash flow negative when properly allocating for all expenses (and upvoted first post to indicate this). 

We are currently working on some ideas to help rookies like yourself with even more resources to get you started. 

Do you have the resources to buy the property for $1M and pay the mortgage?

It was because I educated myself through BiggerPockets and other resources to prepare myself for this.

No matter where you stand in your real estate investing journey, BiggerPockets is the ultimate resource for all of your investing needs.

Once you find a resourceful agent, usually the rest of the team is fairly easy to assemble based on referrals.

I actually got my licenses solely as another resource as an investor! 

@Eric Doe I think Texas is going to be a great place to stay and build your empire...about 100,000 people from California alone are flowing in each year.Check out and research STRs more, it's the best RE path I've ever seen.....this forum is an incredible resource....

BUT, if you can make the transition, the contacts, income, and resources you will find as a Realtor are invaluable to yourself as an INVESTOR down the road.

I'd like to take the next step but would really appreciate having a resource or a coach to provide guidance or recommendations, at least to get the ball rolling.
