Newbie to REI from Dallas, Tx

[Rolando Frias]

Hello BP! I am new to the real estate investment world. My wife and I have always talked about getting into REI and make it a part of our retirement plan. We have been blessed to have a rental property that we own free and clear. We also are working on paying off a lease to own property that we acquired several years back. This is what led me to BP as a source of infomation on getting this house paid and into our name. We finally feel that we are at a point where we can commit to stepping out into real estate and getting the road to our dreams started. But the issue is that we have no clue on how to get started. We would like to acquire a few more rentals properties and eventually try a rehab and flip or even a new construction in the future. I know I have to take one step at a time and hope to be able to use our unencumbered property to get us started.

I am born and raised in the Dallas, Tx area and now live in Little Elm, Tx, which is about 40 mins north of downtown Dallas. I grew up working in the residential field and now I work as a superintendent for a general contractor in the commercial field. I love going to church, spending time with my family and cruising my old camaro.

Excited to see the wealth of information I will get from this community and hopefully I can contribute and help others as well. Thanks
