Newbie Josh From Byron Bay

[Josh Oaten]

Hello, my name is Josh and I am a 22 year old college student from Byron Bay, Australia. I am currently in my last year of college and am studying a degree in Education (Elementary/High school). Over the past 2 years I have slowly grown an interest in investing, mainly in the stock market, but of recent have taken an increased interest in real estate. Real estate is attractive to me because you are investing in a physical object that you can see, touch and have much more control over. Land is also a resource that is diminishing in the world so I feel investing in real estate is a great opportunity for people to get into while its still available. I am still in the learning phase, which has brought me to BiggerPockets. I am looking to move to Arizona following my college completion and am trying to gain as much knowledge as I can about the different types of real estate investing, also markets and demographics around Arizona, mainly the Phoenix area before I make the leap into the game. I look forward to gaining as much information and guidance as I can from you all to help with my future endeavours.
