Newish to real estate

[Matt Kemery]

Bigger Pockets,

Hello everyone! I'm excited to get started in pursuing my real estate career. A little background to me (I did post my LinkedIn profile below), I am a college student at Rutgers Camden entering my senior year this upcoming fall semester. I am very interested in learning more about the Philadelphia and South Jersey markets. Currently I'm analyzing Point Breeze, Fish town, Grays Ferry and University City markets for properties in REO status. It seems that a majority of these homes were purchased back in 2012-2014 for pennies on the dollar then rehabbed and flipped. I also noticed that a lot of developers are buying lots or blocks then building new construction using the tax abatement program from the city. I would really like to learn more and get involved in these areas or upcoming areas for flip properties to build cash for rentals.

The question I have is how could I get involved in these areas with little to no cash, being 21 years old and no actual flip/residential experience other than knowledge of area and from real estate courses/seminars?       

I would love to connect with any professionals in the industry! 

Thank you!
