I am brand new to investing and looking to get started in Baton Rouge. I am originally from Atlanta, GA (Marietta) and moved to Baton Rouge to go to school at LSU. I graduated from LSU in May '14 in construction management and have been working for a large home builder in the Louisiana area ever since.
I am currently looking to buy a single family home with a FHA loan in BR, and rent the remaining rooms out to my friends as my first real estate investment property. I knew absolutely nothing about real estate investing when I decided to try and do this a couple months ago. I then stumbled upon Bigger Pockets while trying to educate myself and have been hooked ever since. The podcasts and info on the website are incredibly helpful.
Looking forward to connecting! Thanks for reading my post.

Welcome to BP Peyton Harm !
You are starting with a pretty well suited education and career field to set yourself up nicely for investing. The contacts you make in the trades will be invaluable in the future!
Look up "The RING" on meet up .com to network with Baton Rouge area REI. There's a meeting coming up soon. Hope to see you there!
