Newbie from Austin TX

[Andrew Hunt]

Hi guys!

I'm a newbie from Austin TX. Actually just relocating to Austin from California and really excited to get going on some property investing there.

About me: I am 25, worked at Google for about three years and am moving to Austin to take a role with another tech company there. I'm looking to get into residential property investing and preferably look at the Austin and San Antonio areas.

Hopefully if I can a steady income I can build a portfolio of residential properties over time. That would be awesome :)

Anyway, look forward to networking with you all and finding some good deals!
