Hi All,

I've been an investor for the past 25 years, but due to being strapped to a day job couldn't really do it full time. I became a realtor in 2006 and a broker in 2008. In 2015 I will retire from my 9-5 and plan to do real estate sales and investing full-time.

My primary interest are acquiring single family homes, which I rent out. Currently looking for my next property. I've done pretty well thus far and have used my rental income to put three kids through college, without getting student loans.

The last one graduated this past May so now my cash flow will actually look like cash flow...lol.

You can find me the first Tuesday of the month hanging out at the Harris County Constables Auction (that's if I can take the day off from work). I use my real estate license to make better deals on foreclosures.

So that's about it, my brokerage is small at the moment myself, my husband and two of my kids are my agents. Glad to be here.
