Advice for first-time investor with big dreams in RE

[Brandon Kim]

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

I am so excited to write my first post in the forums and to start my career in real estate! Financial freedom, here I come!

A little backstory, I recently graduated from UGA (go dawgs!). During my senior year, I read Rich Dad Poor Dad and it completely changed my outlook on business, corporate life, and just life in general. Right after I finished the book, I immediately read The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner and many other books on real estate and business.

I've been reading reading and reading and I feel like I am at a point where I need to take action! I am hoping to move back to the Atlanta market soon to buy my first home (hopefully multi family home) with my FHA loan and house hack it as my first investment. I dream goal is to start a real estate company that will dominate the ATL/GA market and have more than 100 units by the time I'm 30. Then I dream on having units all around the country and expanding everywhere! Dream big or go home!

This is my dream goal in life and I am so excited to get started! I am so thankful for BiggerPockets for the abundance of information and education and the BiggerPockets community for being so giving and open!

If anyone who is in the ATL market, or just a RE investor in general, that has any advice for a kid who has big dreams in real estate then please send them my way! Thanks for reading this and look out for my next post cause it’ll be when I buy my first investment! :)
