New to real estate investment

Hi everyone, my name is Susan from New York City and I am interested in real estate. I've been interested for a while and decided to really take that interest seriously now. I am currently in school(by choice, so I can leave once the semester ends if that's necessary) but I'd like to start the process to get into real estate if I can. I've been listening to a lot of bigger pockets podcasts and webinars lately and feeling really motivated. I love to learn and meet people so if you're in New York City let me know!
