New, diving in with a house hack, and ready to learn!

[Carly DuCharme]

Hi everyone! My husband has been listening to Bigger Pockets podcast for a while. We decided we were going to start our real estate portfolio. So, I decided to get my Texas Real Estate license. During that time we bought our first property. We got it as an off market deal. We are living in that property, making minor updates, and fulfilling our year minimum for our mortgage before we get it listed to rent. 

Once I past my real estate exam, I could dive to the BP podcasts. I am now also reading SOLD by David Greene. My goal as an agent is to network and learn as much as I can about investment properties so that when we are ready for our next property, I'll have plenty of practice. 

The Dallas-Fort Worth Market is pretty hot, but I know there are deals. I'm happy to be a part of this forum/community. I can't wait to learn from all of you!

Congrats Carly! You've come to the right place - there's a wealth of knowledge across all fields here. I'm also looking in the DFW market and boy, it's hot. Keeping my focus and patience. 

Good luck on your real estate exam!
