New to Real estate investing, tips?

[Jeffrey Bollo]

I am new to real estate investing and want to be on my path to financial freedom. I am young and have some money saved up (and I have a job). I was wondering where I should start? House hacking? Wholesaling  To build capital? I have done much research and read a couple of books but want to start networking and gain knowledge from mentors or more experienced investors. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Jeffrey Bollo Welcome to Bigger Pockets! Definitely getting educated is step 1. What state are you looking to invest in? 

Definitely trying to educate myself as much as possible 
I am currently in Atlanta, Georgia and plan on investing around the area
