New Member Introduction - Young Investor

[John Hunt]

My name is John Hunt and will graduate college soon with a degree in engineering. Through the course of several internships I quickly learned that working for someone else's corporation for the majority of my life is not something I want to do. I began looking for entrepreneurial outlets I could look into. After discussing with a recent grad that began investing in real estate, I was captivated. Upon graduation I plan on getting a job in my field and my goal is to find and purchase my first investment property within a year of graduation. I'm always open to advice and tips and look forward to building my network!

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.
