[Dane Jackson]

Hello! My name is Dane Jackson and I am TOTALLY new to Real Estate investing. I am 24 and currently a student looking to build wealth for the long term. I currently am not involved at all in any sort of real estate however I have begun to invest in other platforms to build my savings to begin investing in real estate. 

I actually heard about BP through my learning of stock investing and why real estate might be better in the long term. I listened to the podcast and instantly got hooked. I am currently reading the UBG and plan on reading as many real estate books as possible to learn everything I can until I am ready (financially) to jump in.

I am looking to learn as much as I can and meet people who can help me achieve my goals of long term wealth. I am so new that I don't have any specific long term goals but I hope to buy my first multifamily (as my personal residence while using it to learn the ropes to buy and hold investing) in the next few years as I finish university. I'm super excited to be a part of a community with the same common goal of successful investing!
