Hey BP! My name is Fredrick, I'm 23 years old and currently serve in the US Army as a Computer IT Specialist. Ive been interested in learning how to invest in real estate for a few years now. One day i was watching Youtube videos on how to invest in low income properties( Lisa Phillips) and that is how I found out about Bigger Pockets. Ever since then i have been trying to absorb as much knowledge from the forums and reading as many books as i can. I am now saving up every dollar that i can begin investing. As of now the only debt that i have is my car payment which is around $500 a month, which will be paid off in about 4 more months :) . At that point i will just start saving that money up also to go towards real estate investing. I want to have about 5-10k saved up before i get out there so that i will at least be considered a serious buyer. Right now I'm looking more into the Buy and hold niche in the price range of 30k and below. My goal is to buy 1 property a year with a positive cashflow.
