However, I do know that I want to get into properties as soon as possible perhaps when I graduate so my plans right now is to save, network, find a mentor and develop my understanding of the game. 

So does that mean i can only can start when i graduate and have a Full-time job?

I just graduated Cal Berkeley with a degree in Political Econ. focusing on international business trade and labor.

I am interested in real estate because my parents have some experience with rental properties and I am hoping to avoid the 9-5 job when I graduate (or at least avoid working for someone else for too long).

I graduated in May and have been living in Iowa for the summer but have been trying to get started doing deals in Omaha.

I closed escrow on my first property 2 weeks after graduating from college.

A little bit about me: I recently graduated UC Berkeley and moved to Atlanta 1 year ago.  

I recently graduated from UC Berkeley (May 2015, yes I'm 23 years old) and have been in Atlanta for over a year now.  

I'm 27yo and soon to be graduating from optometry school.

The good thing about Bradford is that it still has a healthy amount of multi fam's, as well as demanding a bit of a rental premium, and I feel that I would be able to focus almost exclusively in Bradford for purchases for a very long time.Let me know if there's something you'd want me to elaborate further on with regards to picking an area.As far as Worcester area, I used to live there when I first graduated college, 3-4 years ago.
