Understanding Real Estate and Building Knowledge

[Mason Adelman]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Mason Adelman and I am from Chicago, IL. I live in the city of Chicago in the River North district.

At the moment I am a Freshman in college attending Indiana University under the Kelley School of Business. I am a huge fan of passive income and was actually referred to the Bigger Pockets Podcast from a Tiktok. After listening to a few episodes, I was hooked. I am familiar with the idea of passive income when it comes to investing in stocks as well as financial independence and having a good credit score, but real estate is something I am not as familiar with but would love to jump in as I love the idea of being financially free when I am older.

My goal in real estate is to learn as much as I can about how to rent out a property or even house hacking strategies that I can use in the next few years. I have already started reading a few real estate investing books and would just like to continue the process of learning. A mentor would be great so I can refer to someone else during this journey. I plan to own at least five properties in the next 5 years. A lofty goal for someone not knowing everything about real estate but I believe in the power of knowledge. 

I am also thinking about getting my real estate license over the summer. I hope this is a good synopsis of my goals, I appreciate it.
