New member - student at Appalachian State University

[Eric Nelson]

Hello,

My name is Eric Nelson and I'm currently enrolled at Appalachian State University earning a degree in Marketing.  Over the past couple of months I've taken up an intense interest in the real estate investing world.  I'm currently interested in learning about both the house-hacking and buy-and-hold techniques.  Although I've been reading BiggerPockets and other online forums over the past few months, I decided it was time to make an introduction and start participating within the community here. 

My short term goals include constantly gaining as much knowledge as possible about real estate investment, and working/interning for a local real estate company in the high country to gain hands-on and networking experience. In the long run I have a goal to work in a marketing position while saving up enough money to purchase my first rental property by the age of 25 as a source of supplemental income. 

Thanks!
