New to real estate; St Louis area

[Marcos Walters]

I recently discovered BP from a buddy of mine right before I graduated from my undergrad this past winter. I didn't even consider real estate as an option for me to ever do, but it is honestly something I would love to submerge myself into. I just became a nurse this year and have now decided to use whatever I am saving to invest in real estate and get my foot in the door. I'm living as small as I can, so I can save a substantial amount to get things going. 

 I've looked into wholesaling, house hacking, and rental properties, but I need to take action and get things rolling. I have a lot to learn, but I'm excited to be a part of the community and get started on the journey!

Let me know if any of you are also in the area or just want to discuss anything real estate. It would be great to surround myself with others who are like minded and are also learning real estate.

Congrats! I am from St. Louis but have lived in Kansas City for the last 2 years. I worked full time as a RN after graduation May 2019 in a ICU here in KC, but recently went PRN as I am a licensed realtor as well now. I own 2 homes (both house hacks), and have another SFH and a duplex under contract right now.

House hack definitely to start and learn to take advantage of the flexibility of RN life to do big things in real estate. 

I plan to be RN "work" optional by 30 years old through financial independence
