Hi all, my name is Travis Wilkins and I am a noob from Pittsburgh, PA looking to get involved in real estate investing! I found an interest in real estate several months ago and decided to visit the site after stumbling upon the Bigger Pockets Podcast. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked. I don’t have any experience in real estate, but I have a degree in economics and can see that investing in real estate would be a great path towards financial independence.

I’ve been doing all of the research that I can in order to put together a plan to truly get started in the next 24 months. As of now, my primary interest is in buy and hold properties, but I hope to learn as much as I can about the other areas as well over time.

I'm currently looking to join a good meetup or an REI club in the area. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to send me a message. Thanks for having me!

@Grant Rothenburger Right now I am planning to get started with buy & hold SFR, although if I can find a great opportunity to house hack a multi, I would definitely start there. I can see myself branching out at some point in the future, but I want to focus on buy & hold for now. And no, I have not checked the events area. I will do that now. Thanks!
