New guy from Texas

[Corey Berry]

Hello everyone,

I currently live in San Antonio, TX, working full-time active-duty in contracts administration for the United States Air Force. I'm looking into real estate, more particularly buy-and-hold for cash-flow purposes. 

I'm currently doing some research into condos, single-family housing, and multi-families.

My goal is to continue working full-time while I real estate invest in the side, all the while achieving financial independence in the long-run. Right now I invest in ETFs, but I'm not too keen on the emotional volatility of the stock market for investment purposes. 

 Real estate investing is a little intimidating to be honest. I'm an analytical person so I can trap myself into paralysis-by-analysis. I ran into this site a short time ago while doing some research. I'm currently reading the Biggerpockets beginner book, and hope to learn and interact with everyone here. I have a lot to learn.
