WOuld love to have you attend!

My Background & Current Progress:• I’m working full-time while attending college, looking to start investing early to build wealth.• I’m currently in Atlanta, GA, but I’m open to both in-state and out-of-state investing.• I’ve started looking at affordable markets in the Midwest and South and have recently focused on Northwestern Pennsylvania after speaking with an agent there.• I’m also in contact with a property manager in PA to ensure I have the right team in place.• I’ve spoken with Sophia from BiggerPockets as a starting point and have watched a lot of YouTube videos, but I need guidance on taking the next steps. 

I tend to think this is driven by the low ROI for the cost of attending college, and isn't necessarily a bad thing. 

Any response helps.I currently am a senior in college graduating in December.
