Newbie in Austin, TX
Evening,
My name is Adam, and I live in Austin, TX. Only real estate experience I have is the purchase of the 2/2 condo I live in (renting the second bedroom) and previously renting. At the moment I am an engineer at a solar company.
My goal is to own multiple rental properties that generate passive income so I can have more control over this short time we have on earth, not report to someone, and not sit in an office 50 hours a week.

Hi Adam, welcome! I'm a fellow Austin newbie. I think you'll love BP! I discovered it only a couple of weeks ago and have learned so much. You should check out their podcasts. Good luck on your journey :)
