New to bigger pockets.
Hello Bigger Pockets community,
My name is Ryan as you can see I am new to this site. I am also new to real estate investing. I'm currently still trying to learn what I can but I hope to have my first property by May or sooner don't want to rush into anything. I would love to get the proper tools and knowledge to where one day I can help others and people who to get by everyday, by showing ways to become financially free for free. I look forward to speaking with everyone so excited about this. I'm near Atlanta, GA in the city of Duluth where I plan to begin my adventure. I'll be turning 26 years old this Mayand I will be getting engaged to a beautiful young lady February of 2016. We hope to have kids one day. And I don't want them to have to struggle through life like I did. I'm looking to make a change for myself and my future family. Any advice will be great.

Welcome to BP! I'm also in the Atlanta area. We just got started with our first two single family home rentals.
