Rookie from Dallas, TX

[Azaan Ramani]

Hi! Thank you for everyone here that is generous in helping out. I have zero knowledge in REI and no background but have been recently very interested in learning about this area. I have been lurking out trying to read as much as I can on BP, listening to the podcast, and reading a a couple of books as well.

I am 25 years old from Dallas and I am about to graduate medical school and start my residency in June. I am mostly interested in a steady cashflow from rentals but also open to other opportunity. Currently, I just want to learn as much as I possibly can and then take action after I have a steady source of income when I start residency.

My short term goal is to have a steady cash flow during residency and pay off my student loan debt ASAP and free up extra capital to invest again. My long term goal is to make RE a healthy part of my portfolio and become financial independent early so I can practice medicine because I love to do it and not because I need to pay the bills.

Hope to get to know everyone here! If anyone in the DFW area wants to grab beer/coffee or just talk about REI and learn just let me know.
