Hello all,
I am at the very beginning of my real estate journey. Looking to get my real estate license this year and buy a multifamily next year.
Bigger Pockets is such a great resource. I'm hoping to learn as much as I can from all of you so I can avoid the many pitfalls of investing.
Cheers!
Tamara

Hi Tamara, welcome to BP.
This is a great place to learn. Make sure to listen to all the BP podcasts, read the articles on the main blog and be active in these forums to learn a ton very quickly about any topic in real estate you want to know more about.
This is also a great place to meet people that can be assets to your business. Lots of great connections all over but we also have a very strong and active contingent here in MA on here so make sure to find them (Set up some keyword alerts to find out about local topics) and get connected.
Besides doing that on here make sure to get out to some of the many local investor events we have. I highly recommend checking out the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham. You can also look into the Boston Area REIA in Medford. Lots of options both north and south of the city from the Cape to Manchester NH.
