Hello Everyone! 

My name is Bradley Adkins, and I am from Dacula, Georgia right outside of the city of Atlanta. I happened to stumble across this website by accident as I was browsing around trying to do a little bit of beginners research on what exactly real estate is, how it works, and so much more that I do not have a clue about. I am a 21 year old who is experiencing what many of you have/are experiencing at my age: being broke and having a desire to achieve a successful lifestyle, but not really knowing how to get there. So, here I am trying to learn everything I can about real estate to see if this is a potential field that I would be good at and enjoy doing all the while. The problem is, I have not one bit of knowledge about how any of this works. 

I am seeking 2 things in particular: help about how to get correct and accurate information about different parts of the business and how to get started at my age, and also I am hoping that through communicating with you all I may be blessed enough to meet some amazing and intelligent people who can guide me in the right direction through my real estate journey. I cannot tell you all enough how excited and blessed I am to have found this website and to be able to communicate with all of you! 

Thank you all so much!

Welcome to BP! I started on this site only a month ago - and have learned a lot...and I've been investing for over 13 years now! Stick around and you'll read about so many aspects to this industry - eventually you will find your interest is in one or two areas to start. These are the areas to concentrate on and build your knowledge. Real estate is a huge industry as you are aware -I would recommend reading a few books from others that are successful, and ask questions to fill in the gaps as needed. You have a lot of years remaining- build a solid base first, so it leads to your successful future!
