@Robert FerrellMy father-in-law happens to be a contractor, and has told me personally he hates flippers.

I'm a husband and father of two.

The guy who came to see my father was selling plots of land a bit up the mountain.

My father lives in Helotes, and I was recently there and had the chance to meet with a real estate investor/agent who owns 10 units as a buy and hold investor. 

I invest on the other side of the 264 close to newburg rd.My fathers a realtor and has helped me buy the three 6 units that I’ve purchased.

The owner is my neighbor’s father who is retiring and moving South.  

I license all mine properly but here is where I say it is a complete joke and this is NOT what our founding fathers had in mind. 

If all goes as planned I hope to begin investing in February (after the wedding); until then I'll be building contacts, browsing the MLS, and doing calculations on properties i find.A bit about myself; my father raised me to be independent and do manual labor myself and now because of him, I do many of the home repairs myself and like to believe I'm fully capable of being my own property manager (currently own a home i purchased thinking i could grow into).

I'm in my early 20's living at home with family in a rented house and figured it would make the most sense to house hack a 2 family home in Brooklyn, Queens, or the Bronx with my father as my partner to bring our max budget to $800,000 (renting out one unit and living in the other unit + basement).

I have enough for a down-payment or 2 for potential properties and have a partial team ready.In Connecticut before I moved to CA I was a plumber for my step-father who ran a plumbing company of his own, So I have a full team of contractors that I could use for any work my properties needed.
