New Investor living in Irving, Texas

[Charles Tucker]

Hello to my friendly BP’ers! 

My name is Charles Tucker and I am a lifer in the Dallas, Texas area. I am pursuing my dream of investing in real estate! I was originally introduced to real estate investing by the incredible Carlton Sheets. Remember him? I have seen many tapes, informercials, and reality shows and I still feel I don’t have all of the answers. I am looking to invest in real estate in the DFW area of Texas but, specifically in the cities of Mesquite, Irving, Greenville and even Spring, Texas. I know that is a wide range but, I have reasons for each of those areas.

Unless I'm able to get involved in multi-family properties right away, my goal is to fix & flip SFR's for about 2-3 years to create the capital I need to start buying & holding them for passive income. When I start holding SFR properties, my goal is to create lease-to-purchase opportunities (or other similar exit strategies) for those first time homebuyers and/or others trying to get back into homeownership that are unable to do so successfully using the more traditional manner. I am interested in tax liens and tax deeds but, I feel that strategy is a little farther down the line.

I am currently employed but I'm ready to be on my own since that job will not help me reach my goals. I created my LLC last year with hopes that will be the first of many challenging and successful steps. I came to know BP through a real estate investor from Austin who comes to the Dallas area often and I noticed some of his Facebook posts came from BP, so I had to check you out………and here I am! After experiencing a few webinars, reading the information and seeing the interaction from this site, I feel I can find the information and the successful people I need to help me complete any missing parts to my team and who can guide me to the success I am looking to become.

In closing, I usually carry around a quote from the late Casey Kasem with me to keep me grounded. He would close his radio shows with this quote, “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.” My feet are on the ground. It’s time I reached for the stars!

Will you help me??
