Hello everyone! 

My name is Ty and I'm very interested in becoming a real estate investor. I've been very passionate about real estate investing for a very long time now and now I feel like I have the courage to finally go out and do it. I currently now live in Charlotte, North Carolina. I would love to be able to meet some like-minded investors and beginners and see how they go out and get deals. So with that said where do I begin how do I get started when is the next meet up in Charlotte,  North Carolina. Looking forward to becoming the next success story.

@Tyrell Yerby  Hey love to see the passion.  As a young investor the best thing you can do is just get out and network.  

My friend @Alex Franks says, even if you have to setup table or get water glasses or whatever, just be present with as many people as possible.  (Check out his podcast at http://goo.gl/DJs2ED).  Get to every network meetings early and plan on staying late.  As you are trying to get to know as many people as possible, you should be the last person to leave an event, after you have insisted on helping in anyway possible.

Ask questions, and keep notes.  Every time someone uses a term that you don't understand or does a deal that doesn't make since to you, is an opportunity to learn.  After the discussion approach the person and ask for clarity on the terminology they used, or why they structured a deal a certain way.  Most will openly discuss these questions.  (Some people won't and that's ok too..)

Lastly, start reading!  Like today.  You should be able to have a book read a week. (Audiobooks count here too..)  I suggest 10x Rule as a great start!

See ya at the next Hobby Millionaire meetings!
