Brand spanking new to REI.

[Cosette Trantow]

Hello, Everbody! My name is Cosette (I use my middle name) and I currently live in Mesa, AZ

I have been thinking about getting into REI for a while and could always see myself owning a multiple family rental, but I never really thought it would be something I would do until "later". I was looking through some youtube videos and came across one from biggerpockets that piqued my interest. I watched a couple and then found this website. There is so much information here and I feel like I stumbled onto a gold mine. Two days ago I knew absolutely nothing about real estate; countless podcasts and videos later I know much more- enough to make me excited and overwhelmed at the same time.

I'm obviously in the education phase right now and would love to set a goal to buy my first property in the next year, however, I'm going to be in school and won't have very good income in order to get a loan (I have the VA loan available to me). Maybe I'll have to move my goal to two years, but it will happen. I plan to be well educated by then and well practiced in analyzing properties. I also hope to meet a lot of new people that I can learn from.

Thank you in advance for all the information I'm about to soak up!
