Future Indianapolis metro area and Charleston SC metro area real estate investor

[R. Barry Melbert]

Hi everyone! I am looking to invest in rental properties in the Indianapolis and Charleston areas. Joining Bigger Pockets hoping to accelerate my learning process and meet like minded individuals. Any recommendations you all have in terms of reading, educational meetings, or anything else you find helpful to get a new investor going would be much appreciated.

Welcome, Barry. The best way to get started is to pair books and podcasts on the topics you think you will be interested in first with meetups in real life. For new investors, the BiggerPockets Rookie podcast is helpful because everyone is pretty new who is being interviewed. Once you get out and find your local REIA or meetup, you will build confidence on top of the information downloads because people just like you will already be doing what you want to do. Good luck.
