Hello Bigger Pockets network!

I came across Bigger Pockets a few months ago from a Mr. Money Mustache blog post, and didn't realize at that time just how big and awesome BP was.  I've since been learning as much as I can via podcasts and reading the forums as well as reaching out to and meeting realtors and investors. 

I want to build up enough passive streams of income to be financially independent as soon as possible. I plan to make REI my side hustle at night and on the weekends. Civil engineer (with a focus on structural design) by degree, Technology Consultant by day. My real passion is sustainability - everything from recycling/resource management to energy efficient building design to just getting out and being in the great outdoors! I hope to weave this passion into my real estate ventures.

I'm looking forward to this!  Thanks for the time to read this, and I look forward to connecting with others in the Houston area (and beyond!)

Best,

Heather

Yes the Idea of being able to let your money work for you is what we are all aiming for. 

this is a great place to network and make good connections that you can transition into the real world, i know i have done just that and it has helped me get into more than i was thinking i could, from wholesaling, to flipping, and renting. 

the right connections can Jump start your journey trust me. when i created an LLC and decided to start looking into REI about 6/7 months ago, in my mind i was like well maybe ill do one deal in 2016 and 1-2 in 2017 well after after 4 months of nothing i met someone here who changed the way i was doing things i started working with them 2 months ago (no they are not a for pay coach or paid training program etc. just people like us.) and in these 2 month 4 properties under contract, wholesaled 1 already, bought 2 myself, the last 1 seller asked to have a closing in january so we will wholesale that one out as well when the time comes.

my whole point to the story is with BP you can meet people that will help you reach more than you thought possible.
