I'm Luke, a 24 year old carpenter and college graduate looking to get into the real estate game.

Bucking trends is often best left to deep pockets and politicians. 

Altogether I came out of pocket about $5,200 in aquisition.At the time I couldn't go see the property in person but took a chance knowing the lot alone was worth over $9,000.Once i finally went to see the property it had been vacant for about 2 years.

We are mostly interested in Buy and Hold Investments, with an emphasis on multi-family units, but we are also considering the occasional flip when the market is right I found the Bigger Pockets podcasts on YouTube and am hooked, I'm so excited to have access to such an awesome community, especially being a newbie!

@Monique Lahti Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

I am grateful for all I have learned already from being a part of Bigger Pockets!

Welcome to Bigger Pockets @Ryan Campbell.

Kind of guide me through certain aspects of this RE game.

Looking for any networking groups that are specific to members of Bigger Pockets in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?

While some good ideas are out there, there is a lot of bad information, schemes and ponzi games, to know which is which you'll need a finance attorney.
