College Grad Starting Out in Houston

[Nick Zahneis]

Hi BiggerPockets community! I just graduated from the University of Maryland with a Mechanical Engineering degree and am starting out in Houston at the beginning of October. My knowledge about real estate investing is admittedly low, but I'm highly-driven and doing my best to to work on it! Initially, I'm most interested in house hacking and rentals. I just finished reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and have been listening to some BP podcasts. Once I get to Houston, I plan on going to local meet-ups and connecting with some established investors that I can provide value to while gaining experience. I'd love any recommendations or tips on good books/resources and would like to connect with anyone in the area with similar interests.
