One more new member in Austin, TX :)

[Amy Janota]

Hello!

I'm Amy from Austin, TX. I'm a web content manager looking to get started in REI with my husband. We have (particularly awesome) twin 4-year-old boys and are looking to get out from behind our desks and mix up our career lives a bit.

We don't have much experience yet. My husband has been a landlord a couple of times in the past. I purchased my first home as a single gal in 1999, and I became a landlord in 2007 when he and I bought a house together and my little house became a rental.

In 2012 we bought another rental together in North Central Austin, and have had really great luck with it.

The current working plan is to try our hand at flipping while we still feel like working our butts off, and supplement with additional buy-and-holds along the way for retirement.

Right now we're focusing on the preliminaries - educating ourselves, building a team and a network, and learning how to hunt down deals.

So glad to be here!
