Hello everyone!
My name is Michael and I'm extremely excited to be a part of the BiggerPockets forums! I'm 24 years old and am currently working in IT as a Systems Administrator. I'm in a position to where I want to learn and act on real estate investing, but only after I educate myself accordingly! At the moment, I'm learning as much as I can through the various articles, podcasts, and videos provided here at BiggerPockets. My goal is to build wealth over the long-term through buy and hold properties. I'd love to create an amount of cashflow that would enable me and my family to reach our financial goals.

@Michael Meyers. Solid strategy and goals. Good luck! Buy and hold multi families is what I do. Reach out if you have any specific questions or want to chat.

Thank you Kevin! That's what I believe I'm going to do. I feel I'll get the best value out of investing in multi-family homes. They seem much more desirable than single family homes. My first hurdle is gaining enough confidence through learning from here and other sources. The second is securing a way to land the financing for my first property!

Hello Michael, welcome to the community!
I work with my group as well as investors when it comes to representing buyers on the Realtor side for fix and flips, but my background is in multifamily.
Any questions about purchasing properties as well as looking for unique opportunities, feel free to shoot me a message.

Thank you Jimmy! I'm sure I will shoot you a message sometime! I'm extremely eager to get my feet wet. I'd like to have my first property within the next year or so.

Welcome @Michael Meyers! You're definitely in the right place. I would also suggest checking out the local REIA groups to network with local investors. I believe CIREIA has a few members only meetings the rest of the year, but INREIA has their monthly meeting coming up on the 13th. You can check out either of their sites for more info.
I'm an investor and agent in the area as well, so happy to answer any questions you have. I have a backround in IT myself, before this whole real estate thing came along. Great industry and very popular here locally!

Thank you Andy! I appreciate the response. I'd love to talk shop sometime via phone, email, or in person. I'd really enjoy hearing your experiences and any advice you may have.

Thank you Erin! +1 for the IT team!
I've looked at a couple of the local REIA groups. I definitely plan to attend some meetings and meet some local investors. I'm sure I will have some questions! I'm not looking for a get rich quick scheme, but a genuine way to begin building wealth. Like you, I want to experience real estate and the opportunity it presents. Indianapolis seems to be great area for a budding investor as well. I've found many multi family units. Now I'm just trying to learn as much as possible and to find the best approach for my first investment.

Thank you George! I'm extremely excited. It seems that there's an amazing amount of opportunity in REI and I'm eager to begin. The forum has been fantastic so far! It's exactly what I've needed to learn, but most of all connect with others who share the same interest.
