New Guy in Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX
Hello,
I am a relatively new real estate investor living in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX metroplex. My interest in real estate began around 1991 as I was leaving the Air Force, as I looked at how many single family homes one of my friends and his family owned. It took me YEARS of constantly hounding the family patriarch to teach me HOW they owned over 70 homes with the majority being mortgage free.
Fast forward 20+ years and I've realized that my few transactions need to become MANY more to generate the income and lifestyle that will allow me to have both the time and money to spend with family and friends when I choose – and not just on days off from my employer.
I am currently seeking to network with wholesalers, flippers, investors, contractors, investor friendly title companies in DFW (preferably Tarrant County), and well as hard money lenders for certain deals. I am new to the wholesale aspect of real estate – so a partnership with an experienced wholesaler in this area would be great until I become comfortable completing the deals on my own.
My investment goals are similar to many other real estate investors. I will be seeking wholesale deals and some flips/rehabs to build cash reserves. I would like to build a portfolio of multi-family properties for passive income, preferably starting with some triplexes, quadplexes, or small apartment complexes before purchasing large apartment complexes (50 units or more). I prefer investments in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but am open to other areas throughout Texas. If you have opportunities outside of Texas – feel free to contact me. If you have contacts that you feel could be mutually beneficial – please introduce us.
Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge and experience.
Bill Tyler
