Hi All,

I'm very excited to get started with real estate investing. I bought a house last fall in East Austin. Seeing the booming market landscape has inspired me to get involved. I'm interested, ultimately, in buy and hold rentals. I'm happily employed as a computer programmer / app developer but, that said, my ultimate dream is to provide a second source of income from rentals, enough to not rely on my job.

Primarily interested in learning about the possibility of Subject To type deals as I've only got $50k to start with. That amount is only good for about 2 SFH if I go traditional routes. I'd like to acquire faster than that if possible.

Btw, I found BP from a YouTube interview by Joshua Dorkin. He was interviewing a hard money lender.
