Newbie in Austin, TX

[Adam Smith]

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.
