Hello everybody, my name is Anthony Gonzalez. I'm 22 years old, I work part time and I just started school at west la community college with the intention of transferring to a 4 year. I am also majoring in business in finance. I have very little Investing experience. I've only dabbled in some books and gone to some seminars. My best friend got me into thinking about real estate After reading Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". Not long after that he told me about BiggerPockets and urged me to join. I am also here to build communication skills because I am not the best talker and I want to improve. I hope to achieve financial freedom through real estate so I can give back to the people I hold dear to me and help others. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you all have a great day. P.S. Sorry if my writing is all over the place, I am not the best writer either.

    Hello Anthony Gonzalez , welcome to BP. I can empathize with your desires to build speaking and writing skills. My recommendation is to join toastmasters and other speech-related groups and read a lot of books. It'll help improve vocabulary, structure, and style. -Kysha
