Hello @Magdalene Fortson,

I'm just getting started here as well, however, I can tell you, you are in a great place! Just in the few days I have been here, I have received advice that otherwise would've probably taken me a month of hard research to uncover. Welcome to BP and good luck on your investment journey!

Thank you everybody. @Ayana Young that means a lot I appreciate the kind thought and I wish the same for you.

Thank you for all the posts to this everyone. @Paul Timmins Thank you for all the advice on getting started I will have to do more research into the things you mentioned. I appreciate you taking the time to post all of that. @John Kent if you wouldn't mind I'd love to message you and get some more information from about about the investors group. Sounds like a great opportunity to dive in and learn. @Ayodeji Kuponiyi I appreciate the post and the knowledge you left me with. I will definitely take that advice and learn, learn, learn. Thank you everybody!

Hello @Ream Kidane!

No I haven't gone through the free course yet. Thank you so much for posting and letting me know about that! I will take a look at the book you recommended I haven't heard of that book yet.

My strategy so far is as you guessed, to buy and hold multi-family properties as rentals. It was the idea that is most appealing to me for passive income. My goal is to own apartment units possibly a complex by the time I am 25 so that gives me 5 years.

Hi @Kevin Fox

Thank you for the warm welcome! 

Yes I have put much thought into this over the last few months. The idea that is the most appealing to me is getting into multifamily rental properties for passive income over the years. I'd love to own apartment units within 5 years. My goal is to do this by the time I'm 25.

Hello all! Brand new to the Forum. Here to introduce myself and tell you a little about who I am. My name is Dakota Gilliam, I am posting from Central Florida. Currently attending college for a degree in Finance. I joined BiggerPockets because I believed it'd be a great first step in my RE investment journey. My goals are to be successful and obtain a net worth of at least $1,000,000. I'm only 20 and brand new to this, so I'm just looking for any advice to get started. I am very interested in multifamily homes and I have $100k to get started with!

I am brand new to the BiggerPockets forum. This is all actually very new to me. I'm only 20 years old and looking to start my investment journey. I've read many books in the last couple months of course including "Rich Dad Poor Dad". I have roughly 100k to begin my investment journey now the only problem is figuring out what exactly to do with it. My credit is good and I am interested in investing in Multifamily properties. Can anyone offer any advice or suggestions?
