New and looking for advice

[Andre Williams]

Hello everyone this is my 1st post. I am new to real estate and have just completed my 60 hour class in order to be eligible to take my license exam. From the education i received in the class I think the route i want to take in the real estate market is property management and investing. 

A little bit about myself. I am 25 year olds and a Maryland native. i currently live between Maryland and Virginia staying at my home in Maryland and my long time girlfriends home in Virginia. When I was 22 I began my own iPhone app development company and still work on it a lot of the time. The money was so up and down I decided I needed something else as well. I have always had an interest in real estate but never had the start up cash or knowledge to get started. 

I am interested in learning how successful property managers and/or real estate investors got started? Also would love to connect with anyone from the Northern Va or Southern MD area that is in this field. I hope I can learn from someone more experienced in my area as to how the process works and some good advice to help me. Thanks for having me and best wishes to you all!!!1
