Howdy! 

My name is Chad Althaus, and I'm a senior Mechanical Engineering major at Texas A&M University. I was born in Dallas and grew up in Richardson. Been in College Station for the past three years, and I'm in Houston for a summer internship. 

I recently read Rich Dad, Poor Dad with my fiance and we got a strong desire to get in to real estate, not really knowing what exactly that would entail. I've been listening to the BiggerPockets podcast this week and decided to get as involved as possible. I really don't know much yet, but I want to learn as much as possible- that's why I'm here on the forums. 

The idea of flipping houses without having to use much (or any) of your own money is extremely interesting to us right now, becasue we don't have much money at this point in our lives. What we do have we're saving for our wedding next year. 

Feel free to share any solid tips for someone like myself, who is just getting started :)

Thanks, and I'm excited to be a part of the BP community!
