I'm not from Texas but I got here as quick as I could ;)

[Brad Moody]

Hello all!

My name is Brad and I currently live in the Houston area, Richmond to be exact. I teach business and coach football and basketball at the high school level full time. As you can suspect, I want to supplement this income with real estate investing, but the amount of time I have to dedicate is sparse. I have moved to Houston from the Charlotte area in March 2015, so I'm still learning a lot about this sprawling metropolis. 

I have joined BP to learn more about all aspects of real estate investing. I know this sounds like the kiss of death, but I plan to start investing by wholesaling a few deals this year. When I have built my business up enough, I plan on focusing on buy and hold properties with a few flips as they present themselves. So far, the toughest part of my market seems to be high property tax (2.5 -3.3%) and lack of multifamily units (in the suburbs at least).

I have already started reading a couple of books, and listening to the BP podcast. I have also been fortunate in finding a very helpful investor in my area that I hope to form a mentor relationship with. I would love to find some meet up groups to continue networking and growing my knowledge in REI. I look froward to being a part of the BP community. Happy Investing!!!
