Austin, Here I Come!
Getting extremely excited about real estate investing, and I just wanted to say hello to everyone at BP who is responsible for my current obsession.
South Austin TX and Kyle/Buda are my focus.
I've got all sorts of off the wall skills (wood working, tile, welding, auto repair, computer/network, electrical, ...etc), which I know is going to be my greatest strength while also causing me to struggle with hiring help.
My wife and I bought for 160 in north Austin, and sold for 260 after doing some serious bathroom/bedroom/kitchen remodels. The market upturn was responsible for most of that growth, and we are now in a 330 house that has an attached apartment. Our first goal is to get it rent worthy, and try our hand at AirBnB.
Can't wait and I know i'm going to draw on the community for help in the near future.
