Coming Soon to Austin!

[Wade Goodwin]

Hey BP Community - Hope everybody out there is doing well! Just finally getting around to giving my official "New Member Introduction", though I've had the chance to connect with a number of people on here in the past month or two...which has been really great.

I guess the first thing to note is that I'm currently a little over 3 months in to a 6 month trip around the world with my Fiancé (8 countries/4 continents). It is one of those trips that we felt we needed to go on before settling down in Austin, TX. I was actually able to fund my part of the trip with a portion of the profits I made from a [live-in/house hacking] fix-n-flip that I sold in June of this year.

Though I thoroughly enjoyed that flip, flipping is closer to the bottom of my real estate aspirations. I find myself more interested in building a portfolio of multi-family and single-family properties. And I've always been most intrigued with the buying side of the transaction (i.e. finding the best deals, creative financing, etc.). That's what suits my personality best, hence my degrees in Accounting and Finance I suppose.

To sum it all up, I'm taking this time off to enjoy the world and to continue to learn as much as possible about the wonderful world of real estate investing. Books, podcasts, blogs, forums, networking, etc....I'm doing my best at expanding my knowledge, and once I land back in the States (in February) I'm hoping to hit the ground running, find a great job in the real estate investment industry, and keep moving forward with my own personal investing goals.

So if you have a spare minute...I'd love to hear from anyone who wants to connect!

Cheers,

Wade
