21 yr old REI in Atlanta

[Tomas Sablon]

Hey bigger pockets! My name is Tomas Sablon and I'm 21 years old as of July 25th! I am currently enrolled at Gwinnett Technical College where I am working on a bachelors degree for biology. However real estate is something I'm working on as a way to make income while I go to school and become a veterinarian. I have also started construction on a lot that I will build a house on to sell and would love to hear what other investors/entrepreneurs started young!

Hi Tomas,

Welcome to BP! You'll a ton of resources in here that will help you get off the ground. I suggest you educate yourself like it's a second major and learn everything you can about REI. Don't wait to begin getting your financing in order as well as establishing your systems to obtain deals.

Make sure you set up your key word alerts, as these will alert you anytime someone posts about something you're interested in:

All the best man! Dive in with all you got.
