Green Behind The Ears -- Looking To Learn! (Austin TX)
Hey BiggerPockets community, excited to be here and learn from you all how to gain freedom through financial mastery via real estate investing. Moving to Austin TX in the coming months and looking to start my real estate investing portfolio. My day job is in biotech, specifically in oncology genomics and my wife works in tech. We enjoy hiking, good beer and good coffee!
