Newbie from Houston Texas

[Stacy Thomas]

My name is Stacy I am a native Houstonian, single mother of two (now grown-ups). With twin grandbabies (6 & 7) on the way. I currently work full time in an Accounting and Administration capacity at a local maintenance supply company. I take full time college courses working on double Bachelor's degrees. While simultaneously focusing on starting a business and becoming successful in property investments of all kinds.

I am extremely motivated, anxious and excited to become a real estate investor. I have been researching and trying to learn as much as possible. So far I have in place my company name (A. Horton Homes LLC), logo, website, email, phone, p.o. box and business cards. I've gone to several classes and workshops, where recently I was advised that BiggerPockets.com would be a good place for me to affiliate myself to find credible help and resources necessary to getting started in real estate investing. I watched a podcast this evening and I think the best advice I've received so far was to check out this site. I'm not financially able to go make cash deals on my own just yet, but even if I were, I still need to know more than I do, so I make good investment decisions. I am hopeful that in the very near future (maybe with a little help from some new friends) I will be an actual successful investor. I welcome any words. of wisdom, cautionary tales, or helpful hints anyone wishes to share with me. I look forward to getting to know more people here as well.

On the topic of Quest IRA, they have great classes and networking events. You can use your own funds to purchase, but also I have used owners of IRAs with Quest IRA to help me with rehabs in the past. Even the President of the company and his father lent me money for a rehab. Good size company, small town feel, very knowledgeable people and based in Houston. They will probably be at one of the RICH (real estate investment club of Houston) meetings
