Hello all! I'm new to the BP community and I am extremely excited about this journey! My partner and I have been reading books and listening to the podcast to educate ourselves on the topic. We are in the process of refinancing and taking a HELOC to get a SFR as a rental property. We are located in Phoenix, AZ , but we are looking into Texas for our first deal.

    @Kimberly Juarez. We love Texas, it's a great state. Yes I biased :) but we specifically picked Texas to start investing in back in 2006 and to move to in 2016. Have you started to narrow down your search? Texas is a big state with varying degrees of economics. @Bryan Noth just wrote a great post about "Texas Counties enjoy fastest growth in housing unit", check it out. Hope it helps with your research!

    @Wale Lawal and @Lucia Rushton we are looking at properties in El Paso, TX. At the moment we have been working on getting the right numbers. This could potentially change depending on what we find.
