College Student at UGA and newbie to BP

[Jeremy Rusch]

Hello BP!

My name is Jeremy and I am a junior at the University of Georgia. I am a financial planning major with a certificate in informatics and data processing. 

I've been listening to the BP podcast and lurking the forums for a while now, and I have come to the conclusion I am obsessed. I crank out three or four podcasts a day just by listening to them while walking to class, working out, or in the car. Everyday I wish I could be done with school so I can go out, get a job, and start investing in real estate. However, I know I should not just jump into this so quickly so I just ordered Set For Life by Scott Trench and BP's book on Rental property investing!

Background: 

My whole life I've grown up around real estate investing. My father owns and manages a portfolio of around 20 properties around the greater Atlanta area. This is the core reason my father was able to retire at the crisp age of 45 and I look up to him everyday for that. Growing up helping my dad manage these properties gave me valuable skills I would not be able to get elsewhere. You name it, I've built it or I've fixed it.

I really enjoy BP because learning about real estate just makes sense to me and I can't wait to learn more.
