Brand New Member in the Wichita Community

[Thomas Hausfeld]

Hello, my name is Thomas Hausfeld. I am 18 years old and just recently graduated from Bishop Carroll here in Wichita. Currently, I am enrolled in Wichita State University and am majoring in Industrial Engineering. Recently, I stumbled upon Rich Dad Poor Dad and opened my mind to purchasing assets and not liabilities. I have always wanted to follow an entrepreneurial route and have become very interested in real estate. For the past two weeks, I have been absorbing and absorbing information through books and the BP podcast and I think that it is time to take a little more action! Right now, I think that it would be a great idea to build up capitol through wholesaling and then use that capitol to fund buy and hold rental properties. My current goal is to do a deal before the end of this year and my bigger goal is to one day own 100 properties. All of this is subject to change once I have a better understanding of real estate and the community. Therefore, I am really excited to get to know local investors in the community at REIA events!

Welcome to BP Thomas!

Rich Dad Poor Dad is an excellent book. Have you read any others? I'd be happy to suggest a few.

We have friends in the Wichita area and have considered investing there at some point in the future. Best advice I can give you now is to keep increasing your RE knowledge through books, podcasts, webinars, etc! AND make sure you stay in school so you can have that engineer W2 income as you'll need it to help you with financing in the future :)

Best of luck to you!
