Welcome Post - Hello All!

[Nils Hay]

Hello All,

I just wanted to introduce myself and make my first post. My name is Nils Hay, and I am a 22 year old college student. I will be finishing school in December and starting full time work after the first of the year. I am going to school for Civil Engineering with a minor in Structural Engineering. I will be graduating with no debt and about 20K saved up to start my career. The company I am with this summer plans to hire all the interns that they think are worthy (there is plenty of room). I anticipate receiving an offer for a structural engineering position but don't officially have one yet. I have the option of moving to Salt Lake City , Minneapolis, Raleigh or staying home in the Chicago suburbs when I start.  This is where I have a few question about whats next in my life. 

-What are your thoughts on each of these 3 markets? (anybody currently investing in these 3?)

-Any tips you could go back and give early 20's version of yourself?

Thanks for all the help and knowledge!

*I am looking into buying a 2-4 plex as a starter with my strategy being buy and hold/cash flow.*
