Ive been reading books, going to seminars, listening to the bigger pockets podcasts and webinars and it all has helped me so much, but I feel like something is missing.

I have redone the master bath by putting in a pocket door, subway tile shower, new floor, can light, cabinet, everything really.  

Its a big numbers game.  

@Ryan SommerWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

Which brings me to a big reason why I found bigger pockets.

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!
