New Member in Atlanta, Georgia

[Christopher Costa]

Hello All,

My name is Christopher Costa. I am a recent graduate of Georgia Tech, here in Atlanta and I am currently working as a Product Engineer at a biotech company. I am originally from suburb outside of Atlanta, but have been living in the city since starting college. I am very interested in using real estate as an investment vehicle and I want to get started early. My main interest in real estate is in renting and holding properties. I am looking to start in the Atlanta area and then move outward to some of the suburbs/metro-area. I have no prior experience in real estate, but I have some knowledge through various books I have read. My goal right now is to pay off my student loans over the next 6-8 months, then start investing in single-family or small multi-family properties. My long term goal is to have enough income from my investments to cover my cost of living and be financially free.

I found out about Bigger Pockets through my growing interest in real estate and investing in general. I wanted to supplement my reading with other sources of information, which lead me to the Bigger Pockets podcast. After listening to a few podcasts, I decided to check out the forums and here we are!

I look forward to meeting some new people, making connections, learning about real estate, and answering questions.

Christopher
