Getting Started Right Out of College

[Timothy Limcher]

Hello Everyone,

I recently joined the Bigger Pockets community and have a few questions about getting started in Real Estate Investing! To begin I want to give a little background on my current situation that may resonate with many other members just starting out. 

This last May I graduated from the University of Arkansas and took a tech sales job in the Boise area although my goal is to eventually get into Real Estate full time. I have a good amount of student debt and have only been able to save up several grand since I've graduated. 

That being said, what ways have y'all been able to obtain some property without putting much money down so I can get started? What balance should I look for when saving money to invest and paying off my student loans? What books and resources do you recommend I read while I am in the early learning phase? And as an experienced investor what is the best way for me to approach you if I were looking to help out and learn from you?

Thank you for your time!
