Newbie from Lubbock, TX
Hey Friends,
Bryan Moss here I have been in Lubbock, TX ( west Texas ) now for 9 months. I am originally from Ogden, UT born and raised. I moved to Texas to work in the oilfield and it has been great this far. I have been married and divorced twice now and I have 2 beautiful children Brooklyn (13 years old) and Boston (10). they live in Utah with mom so Every 3 weeks I travel to see them and family. I work 2 weeks on 1 week off and mainly live out of hotels/ camps or couch surf with the family. I have rented a 3 bed house in Texas and I call it my $1100 storage unit since I'm never there...
My back ground::: I have been primarily a Heavy Diesel Mechanic most of my life. I did however venture into Real Estate in 2014 by becoming a Realtor. June 2014 I closed 3 deals part time while working 60 hours. Mid 2015 I quit and went full time and closed 9 deals. 2016 was my breakthrough year and I closed 24 and was on top of the world. 2017 i closed 7 and went back to being a mechanic in July to make ends meet. I learned I am not a great business person I have the creative hustle needed to put deals together but lack the follow through to keep them coming in. I was basically broke every 60-90 days. I struggled handling the rich-poor-rich cycle that seemed to come in waves.
My current Real Estate needs: Having learned all of this I am ready to switch and become an investor. I am wanting to House Hack as it has been said. I have been looking at multi-family and would love to connect with anyone that might be local of have some knowledge in the area.

Hello
@Bryan Moss, I'm a real estate investors, real estate broker and recently started in the new construction branch of real estate. I work with investors in the Odessa, Midland area and have several years experience in working with them. Questions or your, have you considered partnering up with other investors and somebody else who can compliment the areas you are not so strong in?
