New Investor in Dallas

[Sam Garner]

Hey everyone! I'm not necessarily a new member to BP, I've been here a year or so (haven't posted much) but I just moved back to Dallas after getting my Master's at University of Miami. I grew up in Rockwall so it's nice to be back home in the great state of TX.

I've spent the last 20 years doing music full time, but I'm now transitioning into RE. I spent the last year or so continually reading and learning about investing, just made no sense to invest in Miami since I was moving, and it's super expensive. I just got my Agent's License a couple of week ago, and am also actively pursuing a day job, i.e prop management, analysis, appraisals, etc... to help fund my investing. Haven't decided if I want to be an agent full time instead of doing the day job, but I'm contemplating it so I can learn the market better and be more involved and hands on with residential. I would love to end up in commercial brokerage one day, or be a full time investor. I'm young, still trying to figure out all the kinks. 

I'm very motivated and driven to get as involved as possible in the area. I've looked into the REIA, purchased a PRO membership here, and am actively reading the forums. I'm in search of a mentor and will hopefully be reaching out to people soon.

Thanks everyone!
