New Member Post from the Midwest

[Jake Stone]

Hi All, 

I'm a 22 year old recent college graduate working in an industry that will force me to move around a lot year to year. I'm very passionate about what I do, but in my free-time I have been reading everything I can on financial independence, self-improvement topics and I've formed many great personal habits through this. And then I stumbled upon the idea of buy and hold real estate investments... and I've become obsessed with filling my brain with everything I can about this topic. 

I consider myself an action taker, but in my current situation I find myself a bit lost on where to begin. So help get oriented I've begun learning everything I can. Reading books, listening to the Bigger Pockets Podcast, and even analyzing deals in my college town, and my hometown in the midwest (the two places I'm most familiar with). But currently I'm living in the Northeast, and could end up anywhere come 2020. So I figure there is no better next step than to start interacting with some people who've already made the jump.

So that is what brings me to Bigger Pockets. I'm excited to get started here, meet some of you people and continue learning.
