Up and coming Michigan Real Estate Investor

Hey BP users, my name is Marcell and I want to become a Real Estate Investor. I am completely new to the game and I'm here to introduce myself to the BP community to learn as much as I can, while building strong relationships with others in the process. I have no experience whatsoever so I am happy to help anyone who is experienced in exchange for knowledge and support throughout my investing journey. I look forward to  meeting so many of you and hopefully make some friends in the process. Side note: I am attending a network event soon and tend to be a little shy. I want to break free of my shyness and really connect with others and learn. Any advice?
