New to BP - Houston, Texas

[Racheal Carrillo]

Hi BP community. I'm a Houston native looking to leave my cubicle in a high rise in the rear view mirror soon and put my MBA to use in real estate. Interested in attending Houston area meet-ups. Any ideas on which ones are best? Interested in flipping & maybe a rental property or two in the inner-loop area. I look forward to becoming part the investing community and networking.

@Racheal Carrillo If I understand it right, you are trying to quit your day job and getting starting with RE. It's good thing.. But do you really need to quit your day job and lose your income to do so... I know many investors who does it other way around.. I also preach many investors not to leave their full time job if it's really providing great financial support. 

You might say, I want to get out of Rate race. Come on, please get out of Robert Kiyosaki syndrome.  We are not in 90's anymore.. Things have evolved and we have human-less cars in many towns. Let's think in current perspective.  You can work anywhere now even in starbucks and multitask. Many of my investors who are building their portfolio being their job. You job provides security while you build your networth. Don't lose out on it.
