Hi Everyone! My name is Robert Armstrong, and I live in Houston, TX.
I’ve been listening to the BP real estate podcast for a few months now, starting with episode 1, and now jumping back and forth between new episodes and the older ones. Listening to BP has sparked my interest in Real Estate again, and has given me some great ideas on how to move forward.
A little about me:
I house hacked my first house in college (Lubbock, TX), and had my roommates pay my mortgage and beer money. I sold this house at basically break-even shortly after graduation, as I decided against the long distance landlord gig while trying to start a new career. Plus side is I had no housing payments for four years when I was in school.
My next property was a condo in Houston, which I bought and had a roommate for a year whose rent covered P&I portion of my mortgage. I ended up selling the condo after my wife and I bought our current house after deciding I didn't want to cover the absurd HOA fees on the property while renting it out.
My goal is to start to build passive income through real estate investing so I can ultimately spend more time with my new son and step away from my current career in Oil & Gas, which isn’t quite as fulfilling as I was hoping.
I'm targeting single family homes for fix & flip, and also BRRRR. I'm also interested in multi-family and would like to get into larger apartment complexes long term.
I do have an inactive Texas Real Estate license that I have never used, but plan to eventually work with a broker to sponsor me and get some use out of it.
Looking forward to learning as much as possible through this site, podcasts and other networking events!
