Newbie REI in CT interested in multi-family buy and hold

[Bennett Moore]

Hello everyone! I have been reading Biggerpockets and numerous books recommended throughout the site for roughly a month now and I am completely hooked on real estate investing. I am currently a college student graduating in the summer and starting a full time job in Fairfield County, CT come the fall. I don't plan on investing until I have made enough income from my job for a downpayment, but at first I plan on using real estate to supplement my income. I plan on investing within CT and this summer I am looking to build my network of contacts to include a real estate agent, property manager, contractor, etc. If you were in my position what would you do?
