John from Chattanooga, TN

[Johnathan Smith]

Hi all! I'm a 25 year old guy looking to get his feet wet in real estate. Currently I am a salesperson at a Verizon retailer, but I am currently studying and will (hopefully) be a licensed agent soon. Looking to get into wholesaling or sandwich leases in my area as soon as I can. I'm hungry to grow and appreciate any advice.

Welcome @Johnathan Smith! Study, study, save, save, network, network and you will do well. There is so much knowledge as well as helpful resources on this site. Try this, every day on your drive to work, listen to the Bigger Pockets podcast. This has been good for my education.
