New Here from the Austin/DFW area

[Nina Hayden]

Hello everyone!  Have been meaning to introduce myself but I’ve been super busy.  I have spent some time reading the forums and Brandon’s books that were purchased a while back!  I live in the DFW area and work for the best title company, Stewart Title. Of course I’m very biased!  My hometown is Austin so naturally I spend a lot of time there.  I’m not new to investing in rental properties.  I did this several years ago with family.  Everything was sold and we never got back to it due to family death.  So a lot of my plans were put on hold.  Well, it’s time to get back out there.  Last week I closed on a rental property and we begin demo soon. I am keeping my job as I love it.  My goal is to continue purchasing rental properties and do a couple of flips.  I have all the resources in place.  I speak, read and write Spanish well, so it makes it super easy to facilitate my contractors as most are Spanish speaking in my area.  All my deals are cash offer.  This scenario works best for me. I don’t need a loan; however, I’m all about using institutional money so that’s in the works as I continue to grow.  I’m definitely more on the conservative side when it comes to managing money.  At the end of the day I don’t like owing anyone a single cent.  Long term goal is to build my portfolio in real estate and retire in ten years with a nice passive income coming in.  I will manage the properties as I do not need help with that. 

I hope to meet some of you in the area!  I’m always open to learning and growing.
