Hey, my name is Jonathan Colón. I am 20 yrs old and from Boston. Im one exam away from getting my real estate lisence and starting my career as an investor/agent. Currently I work for a Fortune 500 company, called tech data, as a sales rep. My goals are to get a foot in real estate investing, completing my first flip or investing in a rental property by the end of this year. Then continue to learn as much as I can and slowly build my real estate empire. I came to join biggerpockets by searching for financial freedom and finding the podcast.

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
