New Member in Houston, TX - Eager to Learn!
Hey guys! My name is Paul Gay. I live in Houston, TX. I am currently an MBA candidate at Rice University slated for graduation in 2020 (Undergrad from UH - Go Coogs). I work with my family. We import and sell reclaimed architectural building materials from Europe - think antique stone flooring/mantelpieces/doors, etc.
I have very little experience in real estate. I am a licensed Realtor and worked briefly as an Office Tenant Rep at a commercial firm a few months after college, but was not a huge fan of that particular space. I am extremely interested in learning about residential (and eventually commercial) real estate investment as a whole, and am currently thinking that my entry to the industry will be via flips. I am currently on episode 28 of the Bigger Pockets podcast! Some of the aspects of flipping that I would like to learn more about are lead generation (particularly direct mail marketing), rehab cost estimation (no I haven't read the book yet...), and building/growing a business.
I would like to eventually make real estate/investment my full-time gig, and hope to be well on my way by the time I graduate. Thanks for reading and I look forward to learning more!
