Hey all!

I’m a devote husband, obsessed father, TCU grad, and Army veteran. I previously worked for a city government, but decided to get my realtors license and specialize in Investment Properties (rentals & fixer uppers).

Currently working for a wholesaler, but soon to be flipping homes too! Loving Real Estate so far because I can network with other like-minded investors, learn the trade, and discover all these great properties to be flipped!

2021 goals are to get my feet wet flipping homes, owning rentals, and explore AirBnB options.  Want to build that portfolio up, especially in mountain retreat type areas, beach & tropical type areas, and other foreign destinations so my me and my family can escape once in a while ;)

Hey @A. Bryce Davis ! Congrats on the new direction, hope you love it! Big fan of your retreat area investment plan, good luck!

Congrats!

Thank you for your service.  Focus on learning your market and learning to market and you will be off and running.

@Chad Rocke Thanks Chad! Excellent tips and I'll have to start driving into these resources :)

@Ian Walsh thanks so much for your support! Feel like I'm learning extremely quick!!! Which is a good thing ;)

First off I would like to thank you for your service. 

Congrats on not only taking the steps to get into real estate from a licensed agent standpoint but also on being motivated to take the leap and get into investing. 

My advice would be to start off with one of the investment types you mentioned first as there is a lot to know and learn for each investment type and the last thing you want to do is overwhelm yourself and be spread to thin thinking about to many different types of investments that you forget to actually invest. 

Best of luck in your new venture.

@Michael Glist Thanks kindly for the suggestions! Definitely want to start slow but let it snowball into a full production operation for me :)

Welcome to the site! Congratulations on getting that license and getting the REI ball rolling. Hope you and your family find some great vacation spots, and wishing you the best of luck with work as well. Cheers

@Joshua Noth Thanks Joshua! Means alot to hear all the support from the community 🥳
