New guy from SW of Fort Worth, TX

[Ryan Huebinger]

Greetings everyone! I have been lurking on BP over the past 8-9 months trying to read and learn in my spare time.

I work full-time in Dallas and live SW of Fort Worth in a small town called Granbury. Granbury is a fairly diverse town socio-economically. The lake/River runs through the middle of town and there are a large number of vacation homes on the lake. In addition there are several big subdivisions that cater to the retired golf enthusiast. And in the surrounding areas are a mix of middle class homes

I have one rental currently that I bought when I was in Grad school. Purchased it as a foreclosure, rehabbed it and lived in it 6 years while working on my PhD at Texas A&M. Currently have it rented to a long-term renter who takes great care of the place.

Right now I am trying to increase my knowledge base and looking for additional opportunities for getting some SFR in the Granbury/Ft.Worth area.

Our current cash flow is restricted with 2 kids in daycare. And my wife's risk tolerance is low. We don't have enough cash to buy a rental out right, and she is hesitant to buy a rental with a mortgage.

I think as we are closer to paying off our house she may be more inclined to get more SFRs. My pie in the sky dream is to get into the MFR eventually, but this is years away

Glad to be hear and be apart of this knowledgeable group

Welcome Ryan,

I'm not always on BP but it's a great place to network.
