College grad looking to invest in Corpus Christi TX

[Hayden Reed]

Hi all,

I'm Hayden Reed, a fresh graduate from the University of Alabama with a bachelor's degree apiece in biology and geography. They aren't particularly relevant to real estate investing, but I suppose that's what books and this forum are for. I love hunting and fishing and spending time outdoors. I've been trading my time for money for a grand total of three weeks and I've already decided that there has to be a better way than the W2 route alone. Not looking to get rich quick, simply looking to make informed, intelligent buy-and-hold investments that will cash flow and appreciate over time. I haven't read a whole lot about it yet, but the BRRR method and house hacking really appeal to me. I'm sure my investment style will evolve over time, but I plan to start my investment career with either a middle-range single family home or a duplex/triplex. Because I got a scholarship for school, I didn't have to use the $50,000 my parents had saved for my tuition. They graciously gave that money to me and I plan to use it to help fund my real estate investments. I'm a numbers guy, so I will likely have many questions about all the essential real estate ratios and formulas. I'm looking forward to learning from some of the experienced professionals on this forum and I appreciate any knowledge I can get.
