Newbie from Lubbock TX
I am currently working as an IT networking specialist with a local company in Lubbock, TX. My interests for now are mostly in buy and hold of single family homes and small multifamily. I am trying to learn as much as i can right now to try and avoid any big mistakes but I am hoping to buy my first investment property within about a year. Once I have a few properties I want to start being more aggressive about growing my portfolio and then move onto small apartment complexes

@Gonz Trevino thanks for the advice. That really was my plan. I want to learn as much as I can before I buy my first investment property to try and avoid some big mistakes. I would love to meet some of your connections, maybe take them out to dinner if they don't mind me asking them a bunch of questions
