Hey there!

Great points. I am financing most of my houses and will be buying some of them in cash. I'm thinking one in cash for every 4-5 that is financed. Also eventually I will reach a point where I cannot finance any more houses (too many mortgages) in which case I'll aggressively pay them off until I can get more mortgages. :)

By the time I get to 10 properties with mortgages I would like to have 2-3 fully paid off, then work on paying those off and simultaneously acquiring more properties with mortgages as I do. :)

What do you think of my strategy? I like the idea of weaving a cash property every once in a while because the much higher cash flow will help me pay stuff off faster and will protect me if theres a significant shift in the market. :)

Hey Bigger Pockets family!

First and foremost... I LOVE this site. I have been lurking in the shadows for quite some time and feel like its time to finally --you guessed it-- come out of the investing closet. :)

Fired up to be here and meet the community! Eager to learn!

To tell you a little bit about myself...

I'm a newer investor, I have 3 buy and hold properties, one in Austin and two in San Antonio. My goal is to have 10 fully paid off properties by the time I'm 30 and 100 paid off by the time I'm 35! (Currently 27 yrs old). All of my properties are SFH and would not be opposed to getting some smaller multi family soon. I am blessed and have my own business which allows me to have the capital to invest. I have a strong and aggressive goal and want to learn everything that I can, and would love to connect with local San Antonio, Austin, and any investors in the I-35 corridor as well! (New Braunfels, San Marcos, Kyle/Buda).

I typically have been and interested in investing in mostly middle class properties and up. Typically looking for SFH that would bring at least minimum 1,000 in gross rental income a month, homes in decent neighborhoods that not only cash flow but would appreciate over time. I also hire a property manager to manage them, being a landlord is not exciting for me so I would rather use my time to raise more capital and hopefully invest more. :)

Very happy to say hello to the Bigger Pockets gang! I've learned so much from the shadows from you guys! Blessed to be here!
