My Dad passed away suddenly in a car accident in 2011 at 54.
He was around to see both my brother and myself make it through college (thanks to him and Mom)and was looking to retire in the next 5-10 years.
At the time of his passing, Mom had a part time job but without my Dad's income she was going to have to make some major changes or figure out how to make some life insurance and his 401k last for the rest of her life (she was 54 also).
Cash flow was a problem and the responsibility to figure out how to make ends meet fell to me.
The majority of the money was left with a professional manager.
With what was left over, I tried to make it work through dividends and stocks but didn't have the skill set to manage it effectively or evaluate the companies we were investing in.
We decided to make a change and start investing in real estate.
We started in 2015. I was in oil field/off shore surveying and my partner was a drilling consultant who was laid off. He went full time from the jump and I switched to real estate full time in 2018.
We now own/operate/manage ~900 units all over Texas that cash flow every month no matter what the stock market decides to do.
We'd like to meet up with other Ags and network at one or more of the games or even a cup of coffee or drink.
We operate all over the state so we could meet with just about anywhere, but figured with the season just around the corner, we could organize something around one of the games when more of us would be in the same place.
Would any one have any interest in that?
