Yet another new member from Austin, TX
Hi all,
I'm Gary from Austin, TX. I've been a marketing professional for over 20 years, and have been a landlord for about 15 of those, via primary residences that I've kept and rented out, a garage apartment, and an investment property SFH that my wife (who also just joined BP recently) and I purchased in 2012. I also restored a house that was built in 1920 - that was a big project!
Our current working plan is to get a steady stream of flips going, to generate income that will enable us to escape the corporate rat race, and to acquire buy-and-holds to build a retirement portfolio.
Right now we're focusing on the preliminaries - educating ourselves, building a team and a network, and learning how to hunt down deals.
I look forward to interacting with the BP community!

Welcome Gary. There are a lot of super helpful people and great advice on this site! I’m a ‘fix and hold’ investor from the Bay Area in CA, and loving it! A lot of others doing flips, wholesaling, notes, everything.. A few tips..
