New Member - Corpus Christi, TX

[Bennett Burt]

Hello BiggerPockets,

I am new to the BP community, and new to real estate investing. I am currently a full-time engineer with an oil and gas company in Corpus Christi, TX. My wife @Catie Burt, and I have a one-year-old son and a daughter coming in August. We graduated in 2014 from Texas A&M, spent three years in North Dakota, and are happy to be back home in Texas. As we are balancing a young, growing family and career, life is busy and crazy at times, but we are anxious to get started in REI, in one form or another.

To avoid staying on the sidelines for too long, we are steadily chipping away at our "to-dos" to get started. Working on educating ourselves, building a network, and learning about our local market (along with some potential out-of-state turnkey options).

Looking forward to engaging with the BP community!

You are off to a good start with learning the process but the best way to stay off the sidelines is to start engaging with real people to take concrete steps towards a purchase (such as a lender)
