New to Real Estate - Fayetteville, NC and Charleston, SC
Hey guys, I'm Alex Griffith. A few of you may have already seen a couple of my posts asking questions.
I'm an 18 year-old freshman at the Citadel, which is in Charleston, and I'm definitely interested in networking there since I'll be there for at least three more years.
I grew up in Fayetteville, NC, and recognize how good of a market it is. I'm going to try and choose a job that gives me a high probability of getting stationed here once I graduate and enter the Army.
I initially began studying stocks when I was 16, but quickly turned to real estate because it appealed a lot more to me. I spend a lot of my time looking at BiggerPockets, Grant Cardone, Graham Stephan, and Robert Kiyosaki. I also have a lot of books from Trump, Grant, and a few others.
I'm currently an intern at Five Pillars Realty Company, and plan on getting my license this summer to become an agent as a summer job next summer. Anything I can do to expand my network and experience before I leave college. When I graduate at 21, I want to hit the ground running in real estate.
Thank you guys, and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Welcome to BiggerPockets @Alex Griffith!
Awesome experiences at early age and great to have a student here in BP site! Just spend more time in Real Estate education by browsing, reading, listening and building your network.
