Hi all,
My name is Julia and I am excited to have finally joined the Biggerpockets community! I am 21 years old and recently graduated from UCI with a degree in Psychology and Social Behavior. I have always had an interest in real estate but never knew where to begin until I found this site. So far I have read the ultimate beginner’s guide, listened to podcasts, set up keyword alerts, & read some of the forums.
My long term goals are to become a wholesaler and eventually a real estate investor, specifically buy and hold distressed properties in CA (fingers crossed as I know it is one tough market). I am fortunate to have a full time job right now and plan on saving as much as I can to make these dreams happen. Until then, I look forward to learning and getting to know all of you real estate pros!
Sincerely,
Julia

@Julia Lee Welcome to BP. You've come to the right place to begin learning about real estate. I'm sure you've found The Beginners Guide to Investing, if not, check it out under the Learn tab above. Also, there's a lot of great Podcasts with many different subjects.
If you have any questions, don't be shy about posting. Have fun!
