Hi all! My name is Matthew Soriano. I am from Los Angeles County in California and I am excited to start my real estate investing journey. Currently working as an engineer after recently graduating from college. I have been absorbing BiggerPockets content since I was 18, but never took action because I spent most of my time with schoolwork and fitness. This year I want to take action. My goals for real estate are to get my first property within 12 months of this post. I would also love to meet more investors and get engaged with the BiggerPockets family. If anyone is ever interested in doing a virtual or in person meetup in LA county, please let me know and I'll set one up! Also, I cannot offer too much real estate advice yet, but ask me about fitness or minimalism and let me know if you want any tips :) Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hey @Matt Anthony Soriano

Congrats to you for your ambition! If you are looking to connect with someone for some guidance or advice, feel free to reach out. I also recommend you read this article I wrote for Bigger Pockets titled How to Invest in Real Estate Before Turning 21. Once you've read it, let me know your thoughts and if you have any questions. I am a high school teacher in Colorado and I am always looking to help young people get started in real estate investing or help in any way I can. Let me know if you want to chat sometime. https://www.biggerpockets.com/
