Grant, Drone Pilot, Recent Grad, RE Newbie, St. Louis, Missouri

[Grant H.]

Evening,

Hope everyone is having a great labor day weekend, have been using mine to learn about real estate, even tried finding and evaluating a property today. My name is Grant Hosticka recently graduated this spring from Indiana State with a degree in Unmanned Systems and a certificate in GIS and now work as a drone pilot for Ameren in the St. Louis/ St. Charles area.

In my first few months of adulthood have made a successful effort to spend less then I make and start to build my savings through following a monthly budget. I enjoy flipping different items (computers, cameras, shoes, tickets to name a few) and providing drone services as a way to earn some extra income.

I have little to no experience in real estate but after digesting many podcasts (how I heard of bigger pockets) and books post-graduation I definitely think it is something I need to learn about to start building wealth long-term. My goal is financial freedom, and being able to do what I want when I want. Few things I would love to hear from you (if applicable)...

1. Any questions about drones (or video making/editing) I might be able to help you out with.

2. Advice for a recent college grad... what do you wish someone would have told you?

3. If you're in the St. Charles/St. Louis area... Would love to meet up for a cup of coffee or some food!

4. Podcast Recommendations (besides the wonderful BiggerPockets offerings)
