Read Rich Dad, Poor Dad as well as Set For Life (you look young) and then buy a property! You'll mess things up, but also make money and learn! Go for it!

Thank you, Anna! I just finished Rich Dad, Poor Dad last week which is what really inspired me to start doing research. I will read Set For Life next. Thanks!

Hey Abbey,
Welcome to the BP community and the world of Real Estate Investing!! Do you have an area in mind you are looking to focus on?

@Alec Granger Hey there. I actually met one of your colleagues today at an Atlanta REIA meetup, his name is Graham. I want to focus on the Old Fourth Ward to Reynoldstown to Grant Park and sort of all the neighborhoods in between. I am open to the west side as well as I know it is up and coming and there are some great opportunities there right now. Definitely want to stay ITP. Thank you!
