Hi BiggerPockets Community,

While this isn't my first post on the site, this is my member introduction.  I'm a 21 year old resident of Orlando, native to South Florida (Martin County).  I am a Finance student at UCF with an expected graduation date of May 2022.  I have a job as a Financial Analyst with a large corporation that I have held for the last two years, which has taught me some valuable tools of the trade when it comes to running a business.  

I have a high drive and a hunger for success outside of corporate America. When looking into diversifying my income streams, I was always led back to real estate. I began listening to the BiggerPockets podcast everyday on the way to and from work, starting from episode one (I'm approaching episode 30). I've yet to pull the trigger on my first property, and I want to sit back and watch the markets play out after the moratorium ends July 31st before making any moves (I'm not in a rush). I'm also starting my Real Estate licensure class this upcoming week, hoping to become licensed by the end of summer. Not necessarily as a means of income, but for the benefits of the MLS and the ability to represent yourself as a buyer/seller.

I'm looking to establish a network of likeminded individuals that can build off of each other to make our dreams happen.  Agents, Investors, Attorneys, Wholesalers, Etc.  Please reach on BiggerPockets, or on my LinkedIn (as it's currently in my daily routine to check) https://www.linkedin.com/in/ja... .  I want to have a strong foundation and proper knowledge of the industry, so that when I'm ready to pull the trigger I can do so without fault.

Thank you, and I look forward to speaking with everyone,

Jason Read
