(lived there from 2010-2012), and I also worked in oil & gas for a few years.  My specialty is more flipping houses, but I am actively trying to network with other investors in the area before I move back in July.  I'll send you a colleague request so we can keep in touch!

 Well, congrats on coming back. Definitely stay in touch

 Hi and welcome to BiggerPockets! It’s a great place to learn more about investing and meet the people you want to meet. If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing and don't forget to set up your Keyword Alerts!

Since you are away half the year, you may want to consider using property management for any rentals you buy.  Be sure the PM is really good and reputable.

 Ill be sure to read up on the beginners guide. thanks for the suggestion. Property management is a fine idea as well. Thanks for the ideas.

Hello all, 

I am new to real estate investing and currently live in Houston, TX. The only 'investment' I have made is to purchase the house I currently live in. I am wanting to use some of my savings to start investing in some real estate. I work offshore in the oil and gas industry,  and I dont want to be offshore for my entire career, so I am looking to start investing in the hopes of working my way onshore and developing alternate income.

From perusing on this site, buy and hold for a while, seems to be what Im gravitating towards, mostly because I am gone half the year currently, however, Im looking to learn a bit about everything and see where my interests/knowledge lie, as well as meet new people and maybe make some friends.

As for fun interests, they are diverse and laughable at times. Paddling, barbecuing, learning to fly fish currently, and Im currently reading about aquaponics. I like research and possibilities. I look forward to chatting and listening to as many of you as possible. Hope everyone has a nice day. Oh, and everyone calls me Rolie, so feel free to do the same.
