New Investor from Vermont

[George Aitken]

Hi everyone,

New to BiggerPockets - my name is George, I'm from Waterbury Vermont. I'm 23, graduated from college last May, with a degree in mechanical engineering, and am currently working full time as an engineer. I like being an engineer, but have quickly realized that a single income source is not going to get me where I want to be. I've started researching and learning about all forms of investing the past few months, but my interest in real estate actually started with a family member who has owned and rented two properties for a while, and is looking to continue investing. We have discussed forming a partnership, with the strategy being buy and hold. 

Any advice anyone out there has for someone who is new to the game and looking to jump in? Looking forward to connecting with everyone!

Welcome @George Aitken!

I'm also in Vermont and graduated last May as well. I am also eager to get my feet wet in REI - Let me know if you want to get together sometime!
