New to Real Estate Investing and Wholesaling

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

My name is Zach Rumfield, and I’m new to real estate and wholesaling. I’m currently based in the Houston market, looking to build connections with wholesalers, investors, agents, and others in the industry.

A little about me: I’m 25 years old, originally from Corpus Christi, Texas, and I now live in the Memorial area of Houston with my wonderful fiancée and our Maltipoo puppy. I’m a former college baseball player and retired professional ballroom dancer, with a passion for entrepreneurship and real estate investment. I’m also a big enthusiast for health and wellness, always striving to improve myself and learn more.

If anyone in the Houston market would like to connect or has any advice for someone just starting out, I’d love to hear from you!

Best regards,
Zach Rumfield

    Zach Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?
    Having a solid team around you like agent, lender, contractors etc.—will be key to success!!
