recent grad who wants to learn!

[Kyle M.]

Hello all,

I'm 24 years old who graduated two years ago from credible university with a business marketing degree. Upon graduation I took a position with a fortune 500 company and work there still. I enjoy what I do for a living and this opportunity has created financial stability.

My short term goals are to get in the market with a large edge and buy my first home. Down the road I would like to create a second stream of income by renting it out and putting an initial down-payment on a larger house. I would welcome selling my first home at a surplus as well, but this option is secondary. My long-term goal is to have multiple streams of income from these rental properties and possibly turn it into my primary source of income.

I am from the Philadelphia region and this is the market that I am looking to exploit. I have no previous experience in real-estate but am willing to work hard at it. My primary goal of joining this forum is to develop solid fundamentals that will lead me to thinking about real-estate "correctly". And this will allow me to maximize my expectation in the future.

I have learned a lot from forums about other subjects and I look forward to becoming a member of this community. Any suggestions that you guys have would be great, thanks for reading!
