Thanks @Helen Kirk good to know there's meetings going on near me. I'd love to come check it out with you guys. I'll be sure to contact you or Mark. Thanks!

Thanks Ryan, yea I'm trying to soak up as much as possible. Glad I'm starting at an early age though I feel like it's a big headstart seeing as some people don't start until way later ages. But same to you and good luck with your journey man! And hey at least your not an Alabama fan!

Denise Evans thanks that's some good advice that I still haven't thought about. I love hearing new ideas from people because it opens my eyes to other areas I may not have known about prior to. How do I go about finding your website? I'd be glad to attend!

Hey guys. First things first, my name is Reed Cooper. This is my first post on BP and I am a senior studying marketing at Auburn University. Currently 22 years old and have recently became fascinated with the idea of buying and holding homes while renting them out. My short term goal is to make my first purchase, make the necessary upgrades/fixes and find a good tenant to rent my property. Long term goals would be to eventually have 5 properties that i have under my belt that have great tenants and are preferably paid off. (I know this won't happen overnight) prior to joining I have been reading/researching as much as possible trying to prepare for my first purchase prior to graduation. Some questions that I have: 1) does anyone know if people get together and hold meetings near the auburn area on here? I would love to attend one 2) How did you guys finance your first property?(I have a good credit score but hardly any history) 3)thoughts about private investors? I didn't want to drown the thread with questions in my introduction post lol. But being a newbie you could imagine I have tons. If anyone lives near the auburn are I would love to have lunch one day. Thanks for reading guys!
