Researching in Houston

[Leigh Ann Smith]

Hi, my name is Leigh Ann. My husband and I have begun researching real estate investing with the tentative goal of acquiring a few residential rental properties. We've read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide, are listening to lots of podcasts, and I've begun to read on the forums. I love researching, and I love learning new things, so this is right up my alley! My husband registered for a real estate license course this weekend, and he has begun working through that.

My husband has a day job, from which he may retire in the next 3 years or so. We also run a choose & cut Christmas tree farm. I do the administrative work for the farm, some volunteer work, and miscellaneous other stuff involved in keeping our lives on track. Even though it's a very different business, I hope that some of the experience we've gained from operating the farm will help us with this new business.

I will start asking our newb questions on the forum soon and look forward to learning enough to be able to share knowledge with others, as so many of you are graciously doing!

@Petit Morne , you should put your money in real estate instead. ;-)

First newb problem....must learn to tag others correctly.

A few months back I spoke with Debbie Merket up in Beckville and she told me there was going to be a meeting at your place this year. I want to farm trees for fun, labor of love, not so much for profit. I am a newbie investor in the Houston area myself.
