Hello All!

My name is Kelly Moreland and I live just north of Fort Worth, Texas. My husband, Mike, and I are from Washington State, but moved to Texas about 7 years ago. We currently own two residential properties that we lease out...plus our own home, of course. We have one young son and he's learning to clean, paint, and fix things at an early age :-)

Our real esate goals are to: 1) buy more residential properties for our own portfolio; and 2) begin our own property management company within the next year. We realize both are lofty goals, so we're working at them slowly and keeping our day jobs! My husband would like to eventually transition to property management full time though.

We're hoping to gain some valuable insight from seasoned professionals in the property management industry. Mainly around how you got started, what pitfalls to avoid, which business investments are necessary and worthwhile and which are not, etc. We know we have a lot to do - but where should we start?!

Looking forward to meeting new people here and learning a ton. Then, we hope to be able to pay the knowledge and wisdom forward some day.

- Kelly
