Just graduated; moved to a new town; looking to invest

[Devaughn Menezes]

Hello everyone, I recently moved to Lawrence, KS for work and had a few weeks to scope out the town. I have been renting during my whole college career and made some income through internships that I would like to use towards putting a downpayment on my first property. I follow some real estate investors and want to put some of the strategies I learned into play.

A little bit about me: I came to the U.S. in 2019 to study electrical engineering and always tried to learn how to better manage my personal finances. I built a Google Forms and Sheets to track my expenditure and eventually used it balance my spending habits. Currently, I bike and take the bus to work to save on expenses from owning a car, I meal-prep once a week and eat out only occasionally to save on food costs, and I strategize my regular spending to receive the maximum cashback.

Looking forward to interacting with this community and learning more about making smart investment choice. If you have any advice or feedback for me, please reach out! I would like to connect!

Cheers,

Devaughn
