New to Bigger Pockets Looking for Connections

[Carson Brandt]

Hey Everyone,

I am a 22-year-old college student extremely interested in starting to understand real estate investing. I am based out of Phoenix Arizona, just looking to start making connections and gather advice from experienced investors. If anyone has time to talk or just connect I would love to. From the small amount of research, I have done I'm looking to start with a house hack first and then lead into long-term rental properties. If anyone has advice as to where I should start first, such as book recommendations, websites, etc... I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks!
