As the title states I am a newbie (extremely new) that's 21 and currently active duty. It all started a couple months ago just listening to BP podcasts on long drives. Leading up to reading Rich dad poor dad. After that I knew I had to get started. Right now im focusing on learning as much as I can and trying to reach out to the investing community around me.
In the near future im looking to house hack hopefully find a good deal on a duplex or triplex. If any one in the Jacksonville Fl area would like to connect I am open to anything in order to learn. Thank you, and I look forward to be apart of the BP community!

@Alejo Herrera.....At the beginning of January this year, a group of us here in Jacksonville that struggle to get to Real Estate meetings in the evening decided to start meeting weekly on Monday at noon through a virtual conference call (usually there are 3-10 of us each week). Because most of us have W-2 daytime jobs, attendees can join via Audio only as well as Web or Video in order to see the content being shared. I record each meeting and send it out afterwards in case you are not able to make it.
The goal is to be in and out in an hour (during the lunch time for most). We follow this agenda each week:
Review results of individual commitments from last week.
Discuss any items that are top of mind.
Deal Deep-dive (bring a local Jacksonville property you are looking at and we can all review it together and learn from each other).
Make weekly commitments on what we are going to work on this week to move each of our businesses forward.
If you would like to attend, please either personal message me your email address and I can add you to the calendar invite. Hope to see you there.
You'll find plenty of friendly, knowledgeable people willing to respond to your posts. A lot of forum members are experts in their respective fields related to real estate investing, whether that is real estate sales, wholesaling, flipping, buy and hold investing, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance.
