Taking Action and Making It Happen

[Brian Terry]

Hello Everyone,

We bought our starter house in Ft Worth 76118 in 12/2008 through a short sale, so we got a great deal. The house needed a complete makeover so over the years we've transformed the house and earned us 70k of equity. Since I've had 10 years framing houses and construction and a few years remodeling homes, I did everything myself (with the help of family members of course). I started on BP 6 months ago and have listened to at least 30 audiobooks on REI and 1/2 the podcast here on BP. 3 months ago our short term plan was to buy another house to live in (that's more practical to raise our 5 & 2 year old boy's in) and rent out our other house. Plan Executed a month ago!!! After cap expense we're cash flowing $400 a month!! Plus we LOVE our new house and it's in the same neighborhood so we are managing it as well!! Thanks to all the knowledgeable books and podcast. I know I need to start being more interactive on BP forums and networking with local people here in the mid cities. Our 8 year goal is to both not have to work for the man no more and will do what it takes to achieve!!!!
