First Time Invester
First time investor located in North Fort Worth, TX. I am active-duty Army, and my wife is a realtor, and we are both first time investors. We are looking to invest in local single and multifamily units and eventually out of state units. Looking to learn a lot of from this community and get the knowledge and courage to make our first purchase.

@Drew DaRonco I am a fellow Army veteran and investor/realtor here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. There is a lot of advantages of having a spouse for a realtor. Would be happy to share with both of you tips, tricks, and my network to help Y'all build your REI empire! My motto is "Words Are Free." Here is the first tip. Reach out to @Andrew Postell. He is a fellow investor, veteran, and my preferred lender. He is a guru at various investor friendly loan products. Me and many of my clients have used him over the years. So if you decide to purchase investment properties here in Texas reach out to him. Hope this helps you in your REI journey. It has been great for me and my bride all these years. I truly love it.
