Depends where I end up working after I graduate, but I like both greater New York City and Greater Boston areas.

Thank you for your reply as well!

I have been listening to the podcasts that is actually how I found out about the website (kind of reverse order I know).  In regards to you saying you understand the language more, I definitely find that to be important as well. I do remember one quote from one the early podcasts one of them had said something along the lines of  "to upgrade your life, upgrade your vocabulary"  I don't remember the exact quote, but it stuck with me and I agree that understanding the vocabulary in real estate business is imperative. Thanks again!

Thank you for replying to my post as well!  Do you find Greenwich to be a good location for rentals or do you focus on the surrounding areas like Norwalk, Stamford or White Plains?  Have you always lived in Connecticut?

I have noticed that I recognize a lot of the terms that they refer to on the Bigger Pockets Podcast from my finance courses, as well as my Real Estate Law class I took as an elective.  I do feel that has helped propel me a little bit.  For the time being, I'll remain patient and focus on loving the process and gaining knowledge so I'll be prepared when the opportunity comes.  Thanks again!

Thank you for the reply, Are you from Stamford as well? I wanted to ask how long have you been investing in real estate, and if you are doing it part-time or full time?  Do you find that Connecticut has certain areas that are better for rentals than others?  Thanks again!

I am a 22-year-old from Connecticut and I go to college outside of Boston studying finance.  I want to start a career in real estate as soon as possible once I feel I have enough foundational knowledge.  I'm looking to understand more about obtaining rental properties, how to purchase them, manage them, and how to properly take care of tenants.  I am also interested in flipping properties and hope to do bigger deals in commercial real estate, as well as own a property management company in the future. I'm only hoping to get pointed in the right direction, thank you in advance!

Please let me know if there is a better place to ask questions like this here if at all, thank you.
