New to the real estate scene
Hello everyone,
I am John. I am new to real estate and have been reading the book How to Invest in Real Estate by Josh and Brandon. I do not have any real estate experience, but I am excited to learn. I am 25 and working full-time. I came across the BiggerPockets community from getting the above book recently.
At this point, it's my goal to continue building up my savings so I have more capital to do my first deal. In the meantime, I'd like to learn about real estate and its various forms. I am looking forward to connecting with people in the BiggerPockets community. I am elated to begin my real estate journey!
