Howdy folks, I am in Hillsboro, TX.   I wanted to give an idea of who I am too all of you on the site.

First off, I want to say thanks to my son for introducing me to the site.

I have been buying mainly tax foreclosure properties in my county and surrounding areas.  Which was a great way to get started.  Very little money in, sold at good prices on owner financing and later moved into mortgage foreclosures also.  

I was nickel and dimeing little tracts, when it caught my brothers attention.  We started getting better properties and my other brother wanted in also.  To make a long story short, we have pushed $30,000 into over a million in property value, in 15 years, with currently about half on notes and half rentals.  I tried to convince them of buying a Multifamily Unit, but they were unwilling to leverage into the project.  We later did buy one in Bryan TX, improved it and raised rents and was able to sell it at a great profit.  

I have 2 single family units and am always looking for another.  

I am willing to give advice, work with or give a hand on purchases.  Your welcome to contact me on here with any questions.
