Newbie in DFW

[Rivy S.]

Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking on BP for quite some time already, and I finally took the leap and signed up.  I'm a total newbie to real estate.  I'm located in the DFW area.  I'm really a software engineer by profession, but I've been interested in real estate for a few years already.  

I've read the Ultimate Beginners Guide "cover to cover" (can you say that about a pdf?) and I've found it to be the most comprehensive, balanced educational material I've come across. 

My areas of interest are buy and hold rentals, either single family or even better, small multi family.  If anyone has any tips or tricks that they'd like to share, I'd love to hear!

Thanks for reading!
