Beginner in Austin Texas
Good afternoon BP!
I come to you from the great state of Texas! I work full time (weekends) as a CNC machinist and part time investor. I am not a complete noob to the concepts of investing, but I am when it comes to REI. I am currently working towards purchasing my first RE project. My goals and personal skills point me towards the buy and flip and or hold side of things. If anyone on BP has any experience in the central Texas area (Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Leander) I would love to pick your brain and possibly bounce some ideas off of you.
Thanks!

Hey Paul welcome to Biggerpockets.
I used to be a full time CNC machinist originally working in the oil industry and then building custom guitars. But since have transitioned into real estate full time. A lot to do with this site. Contact me anytime for questions
