Hi Marembo, glad to see you join the community.

Thus, my main goal joining this forum is to try to gain confidence in the decision to get into real estate investment and better understand the risks that I may not be considering due to my lack of experience in the field.

Many of the neighborhoods which intersect with downtown are experiencing waves of new residents looking to join in on the action. 

I am interested in meeting mortgage brokers, investors, and real-estate agents in the Austin area, as well as anyone who can connect my abilities as an engineer to a tech company in the area.I love learning new things, and not knowing how to do a thing has never stopped me from doing it.

Try and join a few local Facebook pages and connect with locals who are in the house hacking business.
