The New Guy from Spring/Houston TX

Hello all,

My name is Eston "EJ" Johnson and I am a Creative Director/Web Designer/Web Developer living in the Houston Spring area. Real Estate investing caught my eye at about the beginning of 2011 as I was looking for more sources of income. I began educating myself with books and eventually joined Lifestyles here in Houston and began my push to start to invest in real estate.

I began to rebuild my credit and save in order to purchase and rehab my first rental property. Slow to reach my goal of 20k saved I stopped at 10k and purchased a hud home for myself at 70k with comparable properties ranging from 90k to 120k with an FHA loan and 3.5% down. I plan on staying here for the required year, move and rent out the property. Then repeat the process.

My goal is to find, rehab and rent 3 more properties in the Spring/Houston area before the end of 2014.

So that's me and my experience in a shell of some sort. I am glad to be among like minded individuals. This website is truly inspiring.

Thanks @Mehran K. . This path is a slow one but i am 100% dedicated to seeing it through to the end. Hopefully my next property will be one i don't have to live in first. If that is the case it is fine by me as slow motion is better than no motion.
