Hey everyone!

My name is Jacob Hinojos, and I'm brand new to Bigger Pockets (and real estate, honestly). I'm a college student studying mechanical engineering at Texas Tech, and have started to see real estate as a great opportunity to achieve financial freedom. Right now I'm not very settled, being in college and soon to graduate, so I'm not looking to invest in the immediate future. I'm currently trying to learn what I can so I'm ready to seize an opportunity when it presents itself!

I've been reading the forums and listening to the podcast, and feel like I've already learned so much in such a short time. Thanks to everyone who goes out of their way to answer questions on here, it's so helpful for newbies like me!

@Jordan Sutherland thanks for the great information! That's some awesome insight for someone new to the game. 

@Austin Hughes I didn't know that about the average home price, I'd say that's pretty impressive!

Thanks for the input guys!
