  Yes! I have thank you for the suggestion I really appreciate it. I am looking forward to reading more. There is a lot of info on here.

One other thing.  If you are intent on purchasing (as opposed to all the other things you can also do) then keep your credit as clean as you can.  If you have any issues, get them taken care of now ASAP.  Make all your payments on time.  Pull your annual free reports and stay on top of it.  Anything that's there that shouldn't be come back and I can give you some pointers.

 Ok thank you I will do  that. I have a credit report membership so I can check it daily. Whats a good ball park range I need to aim for?

@David Wurzel

 Also, thank you for the encouraging words. I am hoping to start learning young and become very experienced later down the road!

@Linval T.

  Thank you for taking the time as well and I will look over everything you have suggested. I wont be looking to purchase until 2017 so I am ready to learn as much as possible until that point!

@David Wurzel

 Thank you very much for taking the time to write all of that out and I will do everything as you directed.

Yeah, I found the introduction section right after I posted this and I posted a discussion in that forum as well. Again, thank you very much.

Hello everyone. I am 24 years old and I am very interested in investing in real estate. I am looking for any and every way to gain more knowledge about real estate or investing period. If anyone has any  suggestions to further my knowledge please do not hesitate I am new to the forum and I am still figuring out how everything works. Any advice on how to better navigate or utilize my time here is deeply appreciated as well. I am thankful for a community like this and I am looking forward to learning as much as I can.

Hello everyone. I am new to this community and I live in Jacksonville, FL. I contacted my local Better Business Bureau in hopes of locating a mentor, but I was unable to do so because they stated they do not provide any services of that kind. I know Jacksonville has a REI community and I plan on joining the beginning of next year, but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions. I am currently employed by the government and I am planning on purchasing my first piece of real estate in 2017 while spending the remainder of this year and 2016 studying and preparing myself as much as I can. Any advice for books or anything similar is also appreciated.
