New investor Tampa/Clearwater area

[Ryan Laheney]

Hi there and Happy New Year to you all! My names Ryan Laheney and this is my first post here on bigger pockets. I'm currently a college baseball player. I have yet to buy my first property, therefore; I'm really just here to learn as much as possible and get some advice. I've been devoting most of my free time learning as much as I can in general business and real estate. I plan on starting a business after college and invest in real estate on the side and eventually become a developer. I'm making this my year to become educated enough to be able to start and excel in my real estate career and maybe even buy my first property. I would love any advice you guys have for me. Thank you very much!
