Hey everyone!

My name is Ryan Waage and I am a recent college grad trying to take my first steps into the real estate world. I am fairly new to the whole process but have been reading through BiggerPockets and other websites to gain as much knowledge as possible. 

I currently design webpages and work for a small marketing firm as my main job. I am hoping to start with a few REO flips as I have knowledge about fixing up homes and then down the line begin adding in some buy and hold properties to develop a passive income.

I stumbled across BiggerPockets as a result of frustration oddly enough! I was looking at various REO homes and kept getting directed to a website called Hubzu. I went through their process several times and was getting frustrated to the point of searching exactly what it was all about and how they operate. Search results popped up BiggerPockets and I have been here ever since. Needless to say... I am not a fan of Hubzu but grateful for having discovered this community! lol

I guess you could call me a humble learner searching for that first deal. In the meantime I'm looking to develop connections locally and abroad and just get absorbed into the whole RE world!

Thanks for reading.
Have a great day!
