Newb to Real Estate!

[Gabriel Beverly]

Hey everyone! I am looking to start my journey in the real estate world and I have found this awesome site that seems to be really helpful so far so time to just dive in to start networking and learning!

A little about myself I am 27 years old. I was in the military for four years. I got out a few years ago and continued with my education and I am currently attending college at the University of Hawaii and will graduate in December this year with a Business Management degree. My family and I do live in Hawaii right now for military reasons since my wife is still Active Duty. We will be moving back to the Houston area after she finishes her time in. I am pretty big into fitness and hope to one day own my own gym! 

As far as real estate I have ZERO experience and am right now just listening to as many podcasts and doing research as best as I can. I decided to start learning and to get into the real estate investing because of some videos I watched and decided that in order for me to provide the best life for my family and I that i needed to do something different from the average person. I dont want to be saving money my entire life because that savings account wouldnt be working for me I want my money to work for me!

My biggest challenge i am facing right now is that with my wife being stationed here in hawaii and myself not wanting to start my investing in such an expensive market here paired with me being a full time student right now I dont have an income. I am not comfortable buying out of state with zero experience as well as when my Family and I leave Hawaii to move back home to TX it will be our first house for our family!

So while trying to find solutions to that I am spending time to get to know as much as possible to better prepare myself for investing! I am open to all advice and any questions any one may have for me! I am excited to be apart of this community and to start my path along with many others!
