[Alex Walker]

Hello everyone. I'd like to introduce myself and use this as an opportunity to reach out to other local and non local investors. My name is Alex Walker and I live the Chattanooga area. I am 19 years old and currently have only one semester remaining at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga where I'm studying Construction Management. I am also currently employed as an intern with a local electrical contractor. This internship has really helped me understand if my degree is something I want to do with my life or not. I think it certainly could be, but even at the age of 19 I am seeking out ways for potential financial freedom. I was always raised with the mindset to plan for the future and that is why real estate investing has become a great interest of mine. I have started reading books on real estate and doing as much research as I can to gain the knowledge I need to find and complete that first deal. I know I'm young but I am very motivated and haven't been this intrigued by something in a long time. I am looking for any advice that the BP community can give me on getting started as well as opportunities for local networking. I guess to give more clarification, I will say that I am mostly interested in leasing and "buy and sell' type of real estate. Not really looking to become a landlord but wouldn't be opposed to doing some small flips. Thanks for taking the time to read and I look forward to reading your replies.

Thanks,

Alex Walker
