Hey Tyler! I'm flattered Brandon Turner mentioned me and yes, I'd love to be in touch with you. Birmingham, huh? I'm from Atlanta! I have a couple friends from over there and have driven through plenty of times. (Do I dare say "ROLL TIDE!"? I'm a UA fan over UGA oddly enough). Anyway, feel free to contact me anytime. I try to keep most of my investments as hands-off as possible. Hands-on for me just stresses me out.

Happy learning and welcome to the community!

Hey Michael! Good for you for wanting to do some smart things with your money! Houston is a killer market right now, so it's awesome you live there and can start out in investing by doing it locally.

I write articles on the BP blogs and a lot of them focus on hands-off investing with rental properties. Like you, I have no desire to flip or deal with contractors or any of that (at least for now), and I buy mostly turnkey rental properties meaning all of those contracts, tenant screenings, rehabs, everything are already done for you by professionals. That's my preferred method of investing!
