New investor from Tampa, Florida

Hello everybody, I am 20 years old and am looking into tax deed sales and plan on buying my first property next month in Hillsborough county. I would like to create a career through real estate and build a passive income through tax deed sales. And advice, tips, and or resources for a new investor would be much appreciated.

Hey @Steven Paul, welcome to BP and the Central Florida investing community!

@Adrian Smude will be a great connection for you, and he is absolutely right, the more you can network, connect with and learn from other investors, the better.  Cheesy but true saying: your net-work determines your net-worth.  

Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of BP and kickstart your investing career:

Start here. You'll get a wealth of REI knowledge and learn how to take full advantage of Bigger Pockets (including how to connect with other local investors).

Listen to the podcasts , get active on the forums & set up key word alerts to be notified when people are discussing topics you're interested in.

Check out the webinars, they are very informative, and there’s usually a new one every week.  

I'm an agent/investor in the Orlando area, so reach out anytime.

I wish you all the best Steven!
