Hello members of Bigger Pockets!

I'm a young I.T. Professional looking to get into buy and hold real estate and/or buy and flip real estate. The first and only property that I have is my current starter house (3 bdr 2 baths) that my wife and I occupy. We've been in this house for about 2 1/2 years at the time of me writing this. It's such a great little starter home in a great location! So when we do decide to move, I don't want to sell it. My goal is rent it out and keep it for passive income. With that being said, now my plan to learn as much as I can so that I can start investing in more properties for a wealthy future for my family.

I don’t know many people interested in real estate investing, or just investing period like I am so this is why I joined BP. I hope to learn as much as I can well help were I can, make many friendship connections through in the community and maybe find a new golf buddy or two.

Also, I recently discovered real estate photography so I’m currently learning and practicing to build up my skills in that. The goal here is to start a business in that section of photography. I’ve done people photography, but I don’t really have an interest in that side anymore. I still photograph people from time to time, but I’m not as crazy about it. So keep me in mind if you need some shots taken in the future if you’re around the Houston area.

@Justin Allen congrats on joining the BP community. My recommendation is to network on here and see who else is in the houston area. There are probably meetups in your market as well you could go to. Meetup.com is a great place to look for those.
