New to Real Estate Investing. Excited to Learn!

[Austin Thompson]

Hi,

I am a 21 year old college student in Ohio preparing for graduation in the coming year. Although my degree does involve real estate or investing in any way, I am excited to gain as much information and knowledge as I can here through BiggerPockets!

Hi Austin,

Welcome! It is so great that you are thinking about this now, so early in life! Many of us wish we could have stated sooner. 

I suggest utilizing all the tools at your disposal on the BP website, listening to podcasts, following investors on social media, and watching YT videos. This allows you to get fully immersed into the world and to start developing a solid foundation of information as you kick off your investments. The forum is a great place to meet different community members and search for posts with similar questions you may have. The blog has great articles, and the tools are great for analyzing properties and finding professionals in your area to help. Outside of BP, there are a number of great podcasts and YT videos to listen to or watch to help you learn the basics.

Information is a game changer! Just don't let the overload of information lead you into analysis paralysis. Feel free to connect with me. I'm happy to help. Good luck!
