New guy from Milford ct

[John Mezzoni]

Hi all, been interested in real estate since I was about 18, but never had a good enough job to get past 'interested'. Now I'm 24 and am about 5 months into a job I can really make a career out of AND support myself venturing off into real estate. I don't have a ton saved, about 25k at the moment, but that will grow. I have no debt, so I feel like waiting longer to make a move will hurt me in the long run. I'm mostly interested in rentals, I would also take a interest in flips, but my current job I work a lot of OT so not always sure I will have the extra time to go to work on a house after a 18 hour day. Excited to have stumbled across this page, I see there is tons of information that I can dive into! I'll be picking brains a lot as I don't know anyone involved in real estate investing at the moment either !

@John Mezzoni Welcome to BP. Always good to see others from Connecticut on the forums. Give yourself some credit, to have $25k saved at age 24 is nothing to sneeze at. Good job saving, it may come as second nature to you, but a lot of people do not have that kind of discipline. 

This site is full of all sorts of information on rentals if that is what you are looking to get into initially. 

If you have questions about investing in general or the local markets you are considering investing in do not hesitate reaching out anytime.
