New Member from Greater Houston Area, TX

[Claudia R.]

Hi All, my name is Claudia and I'm currently in the Greater Houston Area. I'm super excited to join the BP community and I read somewhere that I should be specific as to why, so here goes it.

My main three areas of interest right now and why I joined BP: 

1- Active Learning. I've been listening and reading and learning as much as I can from BP podcasts, and other areas and I'm at the point now where I want to get my feet wet and learn from someone so hoping to find connections through BP. 

2- Renting, Tenants. I have a single-family with quite a bit of equity where I think I'm actually losing money by living in it (if that makes sense? am I crazy?) and I'm getting ready to rent it. So I'm trying to learn everything about liability, renting, etc.

3- Buy and Hold. I previously tried buying and holding in Florida and that was a disaster but I'm willing to give it another go! 

4- Investing. I am going to have access to funds from a trust in the next 9 months or so, so I'm learning about investing in real estate because, why not?

I am very grateful for the BP site - don't know where I would go without it! 

Don't be shy and say hi! See you around in the forums!
