Hello BiggerPockets!

My name is Mason and i'm new to the world of Real Estate. I am currently educating myself of all the different types of investing. My goal is to invest in my first multifamily property by January 1st of 2021. Don't be afraid to reach out if you are also from the area!

Hey Mason!

Can I ask you why you want to wait a whole year? Why not get started now?

Nathaniel, 

I want to educate myself a lot better before I dive in. One year is just a deadline, once I feel I'm confident that I know enough to be successful I will be looking to find my first property.

Hi Mason - We do a lot of education for commercial investing like you're considering. Great to hear you're just getting started. 

@Mason Hjelmeland check out the BiggerPockets Events! We have a really cool one coming up with a speaker that has hundreds of units now and got started small.

Welcome to Real Estate from the Metro Detroit Market. good luck in your endeavors
