Thanks @Michael Pittman & @Tom Ott! Excited to dive in.

@Leroy Cooper that's what I'm hoping for! I'm really focusing on the numbers making sense, not the area. But to start with the 1 hour radius will allow me to drive there if needed. 

Thanks @Jordan Decuir! I'll definitely check that podcast out! I usually listen to one every morning anyways!  

@Collin Garbarino - I'm really open to looking anywhere that the numbers makes sense within a 1 hour radius of downtown. I know I've seen some reasonable deals in Missouri City and Spring but again - anywhere there's a deal that is cash flowing in that radius I'm open to it. Would love any names you can share! I'll definitely check out that radio show & REI meet ups in the area - do you just find these using the meet up app?

@Aziz Raji- thanks! I grew up right outside of Milwaukee so always happy to see that city name anywhere!

Hi everyone! My name is Nancy and I am 29 years old, currently residing in Houston, TX. I currently work in the oil & gas industry, and am looking to start investing in real estate. I found Bigger Pockets through a co-worker who currently invests in real estate and suggest that I start listening to the podcast when I told him I was interested in getting involved. 

I am brand new to this, but have done a fair amount of research (and podcast listening) and am ready to jump in. I want to use the BRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance) strategy to purchase single family homes in the Houston area. I understand the process of how to do this, and now it's time to build my team! If anyone has recommendations of people they know and trust, I would love to get in touch and meet with them.

My current team needs are:

1) Real estate agent - I'm looking for somone who invests themselves and has experience with rehabbing single family homes. 

2) Contractors (for everything) - I want trust worthy people that I know will get the job done even if I'm not there every minute (as I still have a full time job). 

My 2018 goal is to purchase 2-3 single family homes within an hour of downtown Houston. I hope to build that to 10-15 homes in 3 years and then start moving into multi family residencies. 

So excited to be here and looking forward to learning from y'all!
