Absolute Beginner, Absolutely Determined

[Andy Cav]

Hello, My name is Andy and I’m here because I found BiggerPockets to be an invaluable resource to learn about real estate investing. Though I am starting out, I am hungry and I am interested in learning as much as I can about the various aspects of REI. I would like to find lenders, mentors, and others who are willing to share both knowledge and expertise to possibly one day become a peer investor. Though it may not be the way things work, I have some skills, in the multimedia space that could be leveraged to provide some value, for those interested in helping. My dream is to own properties that can create significant cash flow to fund future purchases. In the end, I am here because I want to someday replace my day Job, and create something for myself, my family and my kids. I have a background in Sales both inside Sales, and Retail Sales. I also have some background in corporate Training and Facilitating, as well as, Public Speaking. As a side venture, I am a Photographer who also does high quality print work and framing. I’ve done this for a couple interior design agents and hope to expand on that front as well. Beyond all of that, I am a bit of an Art Collector. I hope to someday marry my love for art, photography and Realestate investing, to create something that is unique and desirable. I look forward to hearing from those who have a positive and honest perspective and who are looking to be supportive and inspirational. I do appreciate sound and sage advice, and hope to learn from the great people on this platform. I just got pre-approved for a 4 unit place in the 520k range (with a partner and 20%) in the Austin area but I am looking for the best bag for the buck and even considering places in South Texas where I grew up. I would love to know more about the lending process, the assessment of prospective properties, property management companies, attorneys, cpas and business structure. If you would like to reach out, please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you, Andy Cav
