Newbie in Dallas Texas

[Jeremy Peters]

Hi everyone!

My name is Jeremy and I currently live in Allen, TX (just north of Dallas).  I work in corporate finance for a very large telecom firm based in Dallas.  For fun, I'm currently coaching both of my sons' youth baseball teams.

I've been investing in stocks and mutual funds for over 10 years but I'm completely new to real estate investing.  I'm looking forward to more of a hands on role in creating wealth through real estate.  I'm definitely hoping to make some real estate investing friends in the Dallas and Collin County area.  

I stumbled across BiggerPockets recently and this place is absolutely amazing. I've been listening to podcasts on my daily commute on the DART train.  

My current goals are: 

1) Continue to educate myself about real estate investing.

2) Find a local mentor 

3) Acquire my first rental property that generates positive cash flow.
