Newbie from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas`

[Rigoberto Alanis]

     I'm a family man that lives in Mission, Texas.  Waiter, Bus Boy, Car Wash Attendant, Ham Shaver(yes, shaving pig butts on an assembly line in Nebraska), Clothing Retail Sales, Fast Food Cashier, Short Order Cook, New and Used Car Salesman, Warehouseman/Maintenance Technician/Whatever for a petroleum products distributor, U.S. Navy Aviation Electrician working on mine countermeasures equipment, Industrial Electrician and Instrument Fitter(working in refineries, natural gas burning power plants, and a nuclear plant) and 6th Generation Cyberdrillship Electrician(working in places like Korea, Singapore, Angola, and currently off the coast of Egypt)are most of the jobs I have held in my lifetime so far.  

My interest in real estate is to replace my oilfield income to the degree that I no longer have to work in the oilfield. I'm mostly interested in buy and hold, but I realize that the path to that may require a few flips to get there. I'm highly interested in building up a portfolio of SFR and small multifamily(5-50) properties.
