New aspire investor in Boston, MA

Hey everyone,

 My name is Drew Greene and I am looking to get started in real estate investing as a way of replacing my income over time so that my Wife and I have the freedom to enjoy life the way we really want, traveling and working projects we're passionate about.

I am studying business with a focus on Entrepreneurship and Supply Chain Management at Northeastern University. However, I'm currently in a full-time internship with Wayfair Inc. as an Assistant Project Manager. Before school, I served 5 years in the United State Marine Corps as a Light Armored Vehicle Crewman with two deployments to Afghanistan.

I don't have any formal background in real estate, though I have always had a love for architecture. Like many young investors, I picked up Rich Dad, Poor Dad around the time I left the Marine Corps and got very excited about the idea of investing in real estate, but I couldn't really see my path to get started. A few years later and wiser, my wife and I are now looking to buy our first multi-unit property and become live in landlords instead of renting like we have to so long.

I've listened to a lot of episode of the podcast over the last few years but because I didn't see what I could invest I never came to the forum. I'm here now because we are ready to take the leap and I want to learn more about real estate investing and I want to get to know more people with this same passion.

I'm really excited to be here, I really feel like this is part of my commitment to our goals. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

-Drew A. Greene

Hello! @Drew Greene

Welcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.

I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing. Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.

First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:

The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:

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.
