Newbie from the Gulf Coast (MS)

[LaToya McClain]

My name is LaToya McClain, and I am new to real estate investing.  I'm an engineer from the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  I hope to learn as much as possible from the members of BiggerPockets and create passive income for the future.  Currently, I am most interested in buy-and-hold investments (single/multi family) but am open to learning about different types of investments.  I was introduced to this site through the podcast.  I don't currently own any real estate, but I hope to start investing in the next few years.

Any insight is appreciated.  Thanks and can't wait to interact with the group.

Thanks @Brandon L.  I've downloaded the Ultimate Beginners Guide and have been reading through it.  It has been helpful so far.  Thanks for the welcome.
