Hi @Jacob Fitzgerald. Thanks for pointing me to AK. It sure does look like a great market. I also appreciate you pointing me to some areas with the bigger companies. 

Hi @Jacob Pereira. My parents still lives in Alexandria, VA, very close to Kingstowne as well as Springfield, VA. Yes, right now I am honing in on Houston just to narrow the search, but I am very much open to Austin and other areas as well.

Hi everyone. Thanks for all the great insights. 

Hi @Jacob Fitzgerald. Thanks. On the top of your head, do you know which towns/neighborhoods I can start my search? I am really looking forward to getting started. 

Hi @Stephon Rhea. Thanks for the welcome. I might take you up on that, I appreciate the offer. I can't wait to get started.

@Kyle Mccaw. I see, but thanks a lot.

Hi @Justin Windham! Thank you for the welcome! I am as excited to meet and learn from people as I am with investing. I believe both with benefit me greatly. 

Stay safe. 

Hi @Kyle Mccaw! Thank you for the welcome and the information. I am looking forward to this new venture. 

Would you be able to suggest any opportunity areas in Houston? Right now I am looking at, but not limited to, Spring, Pearland, Cypress, Katy, and Tomball.

Thanks again. 

Hope everyone is healthy and safe.

I’ve been a constant browser/lurker of the forums but never had the courage to introduce myself until today. You can say that I had “analysis paralysis'' on my first introduction post. But the courage came from my decision to commit to real estate investing, so it finally trumped the paralysis!

For the past years, I have been living and doing work in Asia but now I am back home in the States and currently living in the Metro DC area with my family. The ultimate goal here is not only the financial wealth that REI can provide, but time that I can spend with them doing what we love the most.

I have been educating myself by reading and studying everything I can get my hands on REI, including the BiggerPockets Podcast/s and books. I can't wait to get started but at the same time scared senseless because I know I still have so much to learn.

I am looking into buying our first property this year. Looking into Texas, maybe Houston or Austin metropolitan areas. Or if anyone can suggest areas, I would love to hear it. Looking to start slow and learn, then ramp up from there. I am looking to start with a Live-in Flip then shortly thereafter a few more rentals here and there.

I am also looking forward to connecting with everyone and being a part of this community.

Talk to you guys soon.
