Hey all!

I am a 20 year old college student studying at the University of California, Santa Barbara majoring in Economics and Accounting. I've been listening to the BiggerPockets Podcast for a few months now learning as much as I can about real estate. I'm hoping to be able to invest in multifamily properties in the future to achieve financial independence. 

My plan is to graduate college and work towards becoming a CPA and I'm hoping that finds itself useful during my real estate future!

My main purpose of joining the forums is to keep learning in addition to listening to the podcasts and soaking up as much as I can during my college years. I have always had an interest in real estate and have been looking at different properties online for years now. 

Great to meet everyone :D

Real estate prices look really high in EDH and Folsom right now, even though it appears they are constantly building new homes, especially south of Highway 50. 

I would say check out some other areas. Personally if I was in your situation I would check out the Vineyard area (95829) just above Elk Grove, where you can find a small home for 400k and rents are no less than 1900/month for most houses over there. In the past 6 years they've built a ton of homes off of Gerber and Bradshaw, you may want to check those out. If you want a little bit of an older property, just down off of Vintage Park and Bradshaw has some that aren't that much older.
