My Bigger Pockets Intro

[Joseph Casazza]

Hello BP Community,

My name is Joe Casazza and I am a recent college graduate living in Philadelphia, PA. I am new to Bigger Pockets and real estate in general. I discovered the Bigger Pockets community after listening to a few of Brandon and Josh's podcasts. I personally find real estate attractive because of its ability to produce passive income.

Within the next 2 years I hope to purchase a multi-family house hacking property in Philadelphia. I feel as though house hacking is a logical and relatively low risk way to enter the real estate world. 

Any suggestions as far as real estate education (books, youtube channels, other podcasts, etc.) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Welcome @Joseph Casazza! I'm going to have to agree with @Andrew J Kleeman. The podcast and the youtube channels are a must. If you get the opportunity attend some webinars on the site as well. There are so many books but again Andrew makes a great recommendation with, "The book on rental property investing". I have also heard some great guest on the podcast that say that though real estate books are the go to for many investors some emphasize the importance of good business books because ultimately this is what you are creating when investing in real estate. Good luck brotha and will be seeing you around.
