Looking for opportunities to gain experience!

[Alex Eagens]

Hey all,

I have posted an intro to myself in a different forum previously; however, I am a Mechanical Engineering major in college, and I plan to graduate in December of 2023. I want to be prepared when I graduate to start growing my portfolio and working a job that I love and not just a job that "pays the bills." I have had an internship this past summer, and they have offered me full-time employment, but I do need to graduate first of course, so I will more than likely have a W-2 opportunity when I graduate. Although this is great, I enjoy posting workout content and training other people, along with real estate investing of course, and I did not find fulfillment in this internship like I do when posting content for working out and learning about rental properties.

Currently, I have been listening to BP podcasts and other podcasts to gain as much knowledge as I can before I graduate; however, I would like to do more than that. If anyone has an opportunity in which I can learn more or even gain some actual experience with real estate investing/real estate in general, then I would love to connect. Even if you don't have an opportunity personally, I would love any advice that you all may have if you have experience in investing and gaining that "financial freedom" through real estate.

Thank you all in advance!
