New Guy in Rhode Island

[Brian Flood]

Hello Bigger Pockets! I'm Brian and living in Rhode Island, trying to get into Real Estate.  Currently 'trying' to finish my final year of college and have been looking for ways to help with all the student loans there.  I don't know a whole lot about real estate but have always been interested in the business, and working to improve my knowledge thanks to some great info here! 

My goal is to get involved with real estate investing to help pay off the student loans, but really would like to take it further and be solely into the real estate business.  Would definitely be into house hacking, but if i could work that into renting multifamily houses that would be the ultimate goal.  If the opportunity came to try flipping Would definitely be intrigued but want to try and focus on a single strategy to start.

Well thanks and hope this was at least a somewhat decent introduction, and would greatly appreciate any advice for investing! And I know I don't know much but would willing to help in anyway I can!
