Hello BiggerPockets Community!
I'm brand new to BiggerPockets and Real Estate Investing. I am currently in the process of obtaining my real estate license in Maryland. I've been reading books and articles on the web, listening to the BP podcasts, and watching YouTube videos for awhile now but I need to start getting some hands on learning.
I am 20 years old and have been in the restaurant business for 2 years now. I'm looking for financial freedom, a career, and an all around better life from real estate investing. I'm eager to learn as much as possible so if anybody has any suggestions on the best way to get started that would be great.
The DMV area can be hard to get started as an investor due to high prices. One niche you may be well positioned to take advantage of is the college student housing market near the University of Maryland.

Hey John, great to see another young newcomer to REI. I suggest listening to the Ultimate Beginner's Guide it's a great overlook at the different possibilities. Besides that, Baltimore seems like it would be an affordable market once you have some education behind you.
Also keep an eye on the forums and listen to the Podcast's for some great tips, and ideas.
