Just getting started!
31 years of age, A Husband and father. Been in the spray foam business going on 8 years now and have a good amount of money in retirement accounts. It’s time for me to invest some of the money that I have sitting into real estate. Here to learn from the pros.

@Brant Laird, Howdy!
Wow, just getting started with INVESTMENT real estate. There is a lot to consider before you buy your first property. From your short introduction, sounds like you are ready for the task. Since you are on the Austin forum and stated you are from Texas, I would be happy to get on a phone call or have coffee with you to help you focus on the task ahead.
However, let me remind you, I am neither a real estate agent, or lender. I have nothing to gain other than to feel good in giving back to interested investors. I am actually an old fart, semi-retired managing my now small real estate portfolio of 16 doors. I love to talk real estate and could probably give you some good food for thought. If interested hit me with a DM. Cheers.
