Newbie From Dallas, Texas
Hello everyone! My name is Rafael Laureano and I live in Dallas, Texas. I decided to take a plunge and purchase my first income producing property after being a long time renter. My first purchase was a 100 year old duplex home in a historic district. Renovations will begin in the next week or so. I decided to join BiggerPockets because I saw it as a valuable tool to help take my real estate investing career to the next level. My short term goal for real estate is to start off with wholesaling in the Dallas area and purchasing tax liens. I would like to move from that into purchase/rehab and buy/hold. I look forward to being a part of this awesome community. ;-)
