Hello everybody! 

I have been signed up for quite a while on this site but really need to start taking advantage of the great resources it offers. I am super excited to start meeting people on here and making connections. Investing in real estate has always been a big goal of mine but always felt it was so far away. I just graduated college about a year ago and got a good job a few months ago (At a online mortgage lender which is awesome!) which will allow me to start saving. So the goal of buying is feeling closer and closer. 

I have been researching for a while and as of now my goal, which I am sure a lot of people try, is to do a multifamily with an FHA loan (Live in one rent the others). Does anyone have suggestions on things I should be doing in the meantime besides saving and researching?

Thank you and I look forward to meeting everyone on the forums!
