Recent college grad from Brooklyn, NY
Hello, my name is Pedro and I am from Brooklyn, NY. I am pretty new to the BiggerPockets community, but I am finding it to be very resourceful in my Real Estate journey. I am still learning the In's and Out's of Real Estate but haven't pulled the trigger on any deals. I hope that with joining this form, it will help me gain the knowledge I need to get the ball rolling. Any help is welcome and very appreciated.

Good Morning Pedro,
Welcome to BP, you came to the right place to expand your REI knowledge.
Some quick pointers to get you started:
- Search any and all areas of interest on the BP search bar- Read relevant content from forums and blogs pertaining to the subject matter.
- Download BP's free e-book for beginners.
- Watch/listen to a few podcasts.
- Search for local REIA meetups in your surrounding areas- BK, Queens, L.I., Manhattan, etc.
- Attend meet-ups and network with new and experienced investors.
This may all seem overwhelming in the beginning but keep in mind that the first 4 things I listed can be done from you cell phone or computer.
Best of luck to you and keep me posted on your progress!
-Abel
