Newbie in Houston Texas
Hello All!
I've been lurking around BP for a while now and felt it was time to sign up and make a formal introduction. My name is Shawn Parson and I am new to the real estate investor arena. As a licensed Texas Realtor, I've been involved in the listing and selling aspect of real estate for a long time. A few years ago, I got interested in real estate investment, but never took the plunge...as the old saying goes: there is a time and a season for everything and I am now in my season to start this investing journey.
My goal initially is to start with wholesaling and eventually buy and hold properties for rental income. At this point, I am focusing on learning how to successfully wholesale in the Houston market. Ideally, I'd love to learn the business by working with an active wholesaler in my area as I believe the best way to learn a skill is to actually do it. Nevertheless, I appreciate the sense of community that I have found on these forums and I look forward to learning and contributing throughout my process.
