[Garrett Pickering]

Hello, my name is Garrett Pickering. I made an account on Bigger Pockets hoping to meet new people and network while I begin my journey in real estate. I am 19 years old and I want to go into real estate investment, and eventually into real estate development. I have already worked an internship at a local real estate branch (Keller William's Realty) so now I feel the next step is to get my real estate license. Daily I listen to podcasts and read online about the different strategies of investing which is why I have come to the conclusion that purchasing and holding rental properties is a good start. Is there anybody who might disagree with this? Based on the research I've done it seems lucrative to start young. My friend and I both have jobs and are saving to purchase a multifamily in the area to live for free, and also to get our feet wet in the game. Any feedback on my plans or just in general is appreciated!
