New Dallas-Based Investor - Looking to Network!

[Andrew Sumarsono]

Hi everyone,

My name is Andrew and I just recently joined BP after diving deep into REI books and podcasts. We just bought our primary residence a couple months ago in Richardson, TX and am now gearing up to expand into real estate investing. I am looking to build a portfolio of single family and small multifamily rental properties to increase cash flow. I'm planning on investing locally (Dallas/Fort Worth/North Texas) areas and remotely, preferably around the Minneapolis and St Paul areas. I'd love to connect with current investors, real estate agents, and property managers from both the DFW and Twin Cities areas to hear their perspectives on their REI journeys. Looking forward to winning together!

Thanks everyone!
Andrew
