Beginner Looking for Advice

[Emiel Barbosa]

Hello everyone,

My name is Emiel and I am 23 years old and reside in the Greater Boston area. I recently graduated from Bentley University and work full time as an accountant. I want to invest in Real estate within a year or so but am unsure of where to start. I have been reading here and there on BP but still have a lot to learn. Does anyone have advice on where to start, any books they recommend or any courses that i should take? 

Also, should I invest out of state as MA is pricey?
