Hello everyone!

My name is Matt and I'm brand new to real estate investing. I'm 25 years old and for work, I'm a trader for an asset manager in the area. My goal in real estate investing is to give me a more active role in my investments, to build wealth through buy and hold investing, and to eventually create a side business from real estate and rental income. 

I'm interested with connecting with people about investing in the twin cities area, investing in buy and hold single family and small-multi family properties, land-lording, and especially investing as someone in their twenties. 

I got interested in real estate investing by reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad and by listening to the Bigger Pocket's podcast on my commute.

I'm looking forward to networking and being able to connect with the great community here!

I've already made one forum post in the getting started area and I've received great feedback so far!
