Newbie from New Orleans, Louisiana
Hey Guys, my name is Ian. I am 20 years old, and currently living and going to school in New Orleans. I'm very eager to get started in real estate, but my biggest obstacle is not knowing how or where to start. I ready to learn and soak up as much information as possible.

@Ian Morris have you thought about finding a mentor? Scott Trench wrote a great article about how to find a mentor. Working with someone to learn the ropes is an excellent way to start. Search the site for your local meetup, or for local investors and ask if they need any help.
