Good evening. My name is Layanna. I am from Phoenix, AZ and I am new to investing.  I have no experience. Really looking to learn as much as possible so I can begin. Looking forward to learning.

Layanna hello from south Phx!  I'm also pretty new but I've been hitting it pretty hard and it's paying off.  I highly recommend joining AZREIA  (azreia.org) and the Phoenix Real Estate Club,  $200 if you join both at the same time.  I have found them to be much more educational and engaging than any of the Meetups I've attended, unless you're a fan of drinking, not learning anything, and being pitched to sign up for expensive training or asked to work for someone else for a fraction of what you would be paid on your own. There are two great meetings next week, but if you have to pick one I recommend the Beginning Investors subgroup on Tuesday, as it is always a great time and very educational. Your first meeting is always free, and if you want to hit both you can attend as my guest for one and do your freebie the second night! Details are on the site, PM me if you like.  I've also found a lot of great info on YouTube, but learn a little bit by reading the forums and listening to some podcasts so you know what to search for, and if you have any questions try searching this website using keywords first, as most likely you are not the first person to ask!  Again, welcome to BP :)
