Central Texas, Shipping containers, real estate investing

[Bradley Humphreys]

Greetings, My name is Brad Humphreys, I have been on bigger pockets for about 4 months and decided to do an introduction. I currently live in central Texas. My real estate experience is as follows, I bought a 2.9 acre piece of raw land earlier this year, still planning the build on it. I am working my way through the Bigger Pockets podcast currently on episode 30. Finally, I have plans to get my realtors license. Sadly I don’t have many contacts in real estate, so everything I have learned so far is from books and the pod casts and few of the forums I’ve browsed on bigger pockets. My real passion is Shipping Container Homes. I am trying to use my real estate ventures to fund shipping container projects. The 2.9 acres I own I plan on building and selling a shipping container home on it. I have a lot of ideas for this project but not sure how to proceed. I was considering hiring an engineering firm to design the home to make sure everything is structurally sound. If anyone on here is familiar with development, I’d love to run some questions by you about finishing costs. Also Please if anyone else has built with shipping containers before I would love to get in contact with you. Now for my real estate goals. I have considered everything from wholesaling to BRRR. I consider the shipping container projects to be a form of flipping but instead of rehabbing a house I rehab a down trodden property. I am trying to build for the long term. I am interested in learning about many different types of real estate strategies as I have not picked a specific Path to focus on yet. Lastly I am looking forward to building something meaningful and long lasting with my career. I’m sure I sound like every other joe shmo who gets on the website and is hoping for a get rich quick scheme but I’d like to consider myself not one of them. I’m in this for the long haul and the smaller than expected profits. I’d love to hear from everyone who is willing to take the time to read this piece. Also I posted about my project under the construction diaries thread if anyone is interested in the details. Thank you Brad Humphreys
