Starting out REI in Utah!
Hey guys and gals! My name is Tolby Hunt and i have always had an interest in investing. I also like the idea of having properties invested in. Im 18 and just starting out adult life. I have a full time job working in a cubicle. My goal is to not be working in a cubicle but spending my days investing and creating a vast network of investments for myself and my future family. Any beginners advice/suggestions.
Thanks!

@Jeff LorenzenThe BP meet up is at 6:30pm on the first thursday of the month at The Huddle, a sports pub on Fort Union and like 2300 East. Jeff Rappaport is kind of the host. He's on here. At the last one, there were almost 40-45 people there! Totally free networking. No speakers or education or sales.
@Tolby HuntDon't worry about the REIAs in Utah. They are ALL extremely high quality education with little to no sales pitch (they will have sponsors). Utah REIA will more often bring in a national speaker here and there that can be pretty sales like. They intentionally do that as they are nationally tied. I happen to be in charge in booking the local educators for them, so there is plenty of great education, I promise! There are a lot of great local people with decades of experience, including myself, that believe in educating others without selling. Go to my website, there's almost 50 hours of free video education on there.
Renatus, Silver Stream, and a few others here in town are NOT REIAs. They are multi-level marketing real estate pay-to-play groups. I always recommend be very leery of those and know what you're getting into.
Happy investing!
Jeff
