Simon Shih (Houston, Texas) Long time lurker, second go at newbie

I am a middle-aged man; who is business minded and wants to be real estate investor. I presently work in the Oil and Gas industry and travel anywhere from 6-10 months out of the year. I can be home for long periods of time so I want to fill my downtime with something interesting, challenging and profitable. I am recently married and want to build a residual income stream so that I can spend more time at home, with the ultimate goal of not having to travel for work at all.

I am looking for a partner, but you can read about that on my profile, since no sales pitches are allowed here.

I have been reading everything I can get my hands on and listen to the BP podcast during my commutes and work downtimes. I am also working on my real estate license online before/after work and on my lunch break.

The amount of information here is awesome and I love the attitude of the founder and they key people here. People can make money and be successful and avoid morally questionable business practices.
