Hey BP family. I'm an aspiring real estate investor who lives in Houston. I'm completing my undergrad degree in Finance and hopefully aim to be a Financial Analyst/Financial Planner or CPA within the next couple years. I also plan on acquiring my real estate license. My hope is that those 2, along with the stuff I'm teaching myself through books/the podcast/the site, can give me an edge when it comes to investing.
I'm interested in SFH and MFH buy and holds for equity buildup/cash flow, but from what I've seen there doesn't appear to be a lot of the latter in the Houston area. As I am a student, my funds are limited so right now I'm focusing on eliminating consumer debt, boosting my credit score, and saving some money to invest.
I'd be interested in networking/partnering/interning (LOL I'm serious) with local investors/wholesalers/realtors to get some hands on experience spotting potential deals, estimating rehabs, marketing etc.
Thanks
-Malik
