New, Introverted, and making a first step

[Mason Bergh]

Hello Everybody,

My name is Mason, I am a 20 YO student in the Bellevue area. I have yet to invest into any properties at all but am actively looking to do so. Been meaning to do so for a while now but can't ever seem to pull the trigger, I believe this is due to my perception that I am not yet educated enough to do so. Being a very introverted makes it extra hard to reach out or talk to anyone, in fact I never post anything online because of this. So this is probably my first post ever on a public forum of any sort. I want to make change in my life and what better way then to start with something real and tangible, something that I can dedicate my time with while working towards my future. I am very new at everything here on BP, investing, posting, and direction, but that's why I am here now, to change that. My father has had several real estate investments and I helped renovate those a couple of times when I was young mostly helping painting and moving. Like I mention before, I want to start investing and as soon as possible but with my lack of experience, knowledge, even money, I hesitate, and don't know if I should be. I know this is a word wall of just me but, small steps are needed to reach a large goal and this is my first small step.
