Hello everyone! not sure how many people will read this post but I will gladly introduce myself to those who do. My name is Alfonso, most people call me Fonzie. I'm 21 years old and I'm currently a sophomore in college studying Electrical Engineering. I decided to join this site because I really want to start learning everything there is to know about real estate and it's various forms of it. My main goal in life right now is to be able to make enough money where I would no longer need a job and still have a steady income. That way whenever I start to settle down with a family, I can spend most of my time with them. 

The few things that I've learned about real estate shows me that it's probably the best route for me to accomplish my goal. I also know this won't be easy and that it'll take time so I will gladly take anyones help along the way. If you're experienced or new to this I will still like to get to know you so send me a message if you'd like!

Hi @Alfonso Pruneda (Fonzie)

Welcome to BP!!!

I live in El Paso, and I studied a Master Degree in EE at UTEP (Go Miners!!). I am from Chihuahua, Mexico.

I will recommend you to read as much as possible and to listen to many podcasts , including @Andrew Syrios' podcast (BP 121).

Also, to learn about local trends and opportunities, I recommend you to join a local REI group; I heard that the one in Las Cruces is pretty good.

Finally, Far from a big success in REI, I am learning by doing and I am very willing to share my experiences. Let me know if you want to meet for lunch a talk about REI some day.

Good luck,

Jaime
