Looking to start investing full-time

[Alberto Castilleja]

Greetings all,

I am new to the community and eager to start investing in real estate full-time. Currently, I am in the process of building a new single-family residential home and an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in Lewisville, Texas. I expect to receive the building permit within the next few weeks. This is my first investment, and I've learned a lot from this experience so far, and I'm ready to keep moving forward with new projects.

I am interested in investing locally in Denton County and the surrounding counties. My focus is on finding lots or land for new construction, opportunities for fix-and-flip projects, long-term rental holds, or multi-family investments.

At 42 years old, I have decided to leave the corporate world behind after 22 years. I am very passionate about real estate and truly believe this is my calling. I would greatly appreciate any contacts, leads, or advice to help me get started in the right direction.

Thank you,

[Melanie Thomas]
