Hello Houston!

[Buck Tadlock]

Howdy everyone! Think I've been signed up on this site for a month or so, but just now learning to navigate it.
My name is Buck Tadlock - from Pearland TX. Currently I have 2 rentals and looking to expand aggressively. My fun is in rehabbing properties - so far I've only held as rentals but would like to be able to acquire some properties that would make good flips as well.
I have a background in construction and my brother is a general contractor - so I get some pretty good deals on vendors and materials (most of his vendors do work for high end home builders as well).
For the last 10 years, I've also had my TX RE sales license but have not done too many deals utilizing it. I'm looking to get more aggressive on that angle as well.
My goal is that by the time my oldest son graduates high school (he's a sophmore this year) - I will have enough passive income to make this a full time career.
I would like to network with wholesalers, bird-dogs and other agents in the area.
I'm not a member but I've attended several of the Houston area REI club meetings/mixers.
I'm very open to any and all advice and/or educational opportunities to move me along.
-Buck

I'm way down on the south side of the Houston area - but I do know the Woodlands area (in general) is a very nice/pricey place. Don't know much about the market in Spring.
