First Post, Looking for Advice

[Aedon Douglas]

Hello everyone! As indicated by my title, I'm making my first official post on here, and I'm very new to the world of real estate investing. I'm 23 years old and I currently don't own any properties of my own, but I've been a follower of BiggerPockets on several different sites and platforms for a good while, and I'm looking to go further in my journey towards purchasing my first property. Currently I'm interested in house hacking and have been making changes in my life to prepare for that, but before I went any further, I wanted to see if anyone on here actually has a mentor that they work with closely, and if so, how I could go about finding someone with experience that could guide me through this whole process. I know there's a lot of good information out there free of charge, and I have books and such that I've read/plan on reading on my own, but for me it's not the same as having someone I can have direct contact with to give me live feedback and answer any questions I may have. Again, I'm new to this world, so I'm open to any and all advice people are willing to give me. Thanks!
