Growing My Family and my Investment Portfolio

Growing My Family and my Investment Portfolio

I come here quite new to the world of property investments.  I live in the Northern DFW area of Texas with my wife and soon-to-be born son.  I'm going to school for my degree in BioChemistry emphasizing on Dietetics, I'm an Army Veteran, and I'm a certified Nutritionist & Personal Trainer.

As a soon-to-be 28 year old father, my greatest concern for my future is the volatility of my current profession.  Though I haven't experienced it myself, one of the first expenses to be cut when financial troubles are met are Health & Fitness expenses.  I want long-term security for my family and my retirement.

Thank you all that welcome me and I look forward to networking with and learning from experienced and growing investors alike.

Cheers,

    I didn't previously see the email about how to post an introduction prior to posting this.  I was going to edit the title with my location, Flower Mound/Lewisville, Texas.

    Hi @Patrick Skinner, 

    Welcome to the BP Community! I'm amazed at how many post I've seen lately from those either just finishing or already finished serving. Thanks for what you've done. I appreciate your goals and wish you the best as you move forward into REI.

    @Tim Ball

    I have money to invest, but I'm also considering using a VA Loan as long as I can get a solid deal on a property.

    This is mine and my wife's current area of interest:

    Despite having the money to invest now, I'm still pretty early in the "research & self-education" phase of REI. But, I'm always willing to look at current deals to see what's available and meet with other REIs.
