New guy from Austin, TX

[Patrick Connell]

Howdy, my name is Patrick and I'm from Austin, TX. I'm 28, married, 2 little girls, and own my own home/ranch about 30 min. SE of the city. I spent the last 11 years of my life as a Paramedic, the last 7 or so in and around the Austin area. Earlier this year my body decided that it was done with crappy hours on a truck and I decided to transition into the family craft of real estate; as an agent. While I have no family here in town, I grew up around RE in Las Vegas and SoCal. My investment goals include providing passive retirement income for my wife and I, which can then be passed on to our girls once the good Lord calls us home. I'm most interested in buy and hold with tenants but believe the best way to build initial capital will be to flip/rehab homes and reinvest the profits. I found BP by way of the podcasts first and the site second. My hope is to build a network of honest folks who also hold fairness and integrity close to their hearts; the basis for all my business transactions. And hopefully have fun along the way. Thanks for reading!
