Hello everyone!

My name is Jessica, full time student (almost done) and I am basically brand new to all of this.

The past months I have read some blogs, books, etc. about real estate investing and I am actually taking a class that will allow me to get my real estate license.. Not sure if that is what I want to do though..

I would love to learn as much as I can and I am already reading the bigger pockets Beginner Guide in Real Estate.

Any tips or suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks so much.

Excited to be apart of a community with so many knowledgeable and successful people!

Hello Jessica. You came to the right place! I’m a buy/fix and hold investor in the Bay in CA. But you’ll find a variety of all strategies here on the website. A few tips on the website and on meeting some fellow investors:

Search for local meetups here or google a local REI club to network with other investors. On the site, the "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and so do the forums. You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box. You can click on the ‘vote' button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are ‘awards' to earn on your profile. Good luck on everything!
