When I learned earlier this year that I was pregnant with my second child I considered putting off my goal (AGAIN!) of buying my first property. Where would I find the time? My W-2 job had me working 60-80 hrs/wk and I already had a two year old to chase around in my "free" time. I'm so glad I didn't let these excuses stop me from continuing to educate myself on REI, analyzing deals and finally pulling the trigger because today my son turns one month old AND I just got the keys to my first property!
The property is set of fully occupied duplexes located in Abilene, TX. Each unit is a 2bd/1ba. I'm thrilled to have my first deal under my belt!
Congratulations on a job well done!!! Thumbs ups to Mrs. Triple Threat...Wife, Mother, Employee. And you left the Triple Threat establish a new term a The Quad Threat...Wife, Mother, Employee, and Investor. Whoop whoop!!! I'm super proud of you.
