New Member out of Houston, TX!

[Paul Charles Bayliss]

Hey y'all! My name is Paul Charles Bayliss and I'm a 22 year old aspiring investor out of Houston, TX who is currently in the education stage of my real estate investing career. I graduated university with a Bachelors in Chemistry and currently work a full time job with no plans of leaving in the near future due to the stable income it provides my family and I. From what I have read so far, I've learned that, because of my full time job, I want to passively invest in buy-and-hold rental properties. My main goals right now are to build wealth and to work towards securing financial freedom for my family within 15 years! I came to BiggerPockets after hearing about this community from several acquaintances when inquiring about different modes of investment. After looking through the many different options, I decided I wanted to focus in on Real Estate! I'm excited to continue reading and learning about investing in real estate as well as become a valued member of the BiggerPockets online community!

Hi Paul, welcome to the squad! Sounds like you have a nice game-plan. One word of caution- don't spend too much time in the "reading and learning" stage. Obviously it's important to learn the basics... Just don't get stuck there! Good Luck
