Hello everyone, my name is Ryan Dutton, and I’m 22 years old. I live in Griffin, GA. I bought my first home back in October as a primary residence for me, my girlfriend and our dog to enjoy, but now I feel that I’m ready to take my first step into investing. I am looking to buy a single-family rental property in my area. I could possibly get one financed traditionally, but I would love to try to find a subject-to deal. I would love to have a conversation with an experienced investor in my area if any of you guys are reading this!

Hi Ryan, welcome to BiggerPockets! This is surely the best place to start networking and learning. I always recommend the book “Rich dad, Poor dad” by Robert T. Kiyosaki to anyone starting out. Start listening to the BiggerPockets podcast starting at the very beginning and start growing your network, look on Facebook/BiggerPockets for different events, find a mentor doing what you want to do, and get to know the local lenders/brokers. All the best to your real estate journey!

I appreciate all of the advice! I listen to the bigger pockets podcast everyday at work, and it has definitely given me the motivation I needed to take initiative!
