I'm almost finished with the book and I must say that it has changed my perspective on money. 

Although it is obvious that some parts are embellished, it accomplishes its objectives for the reader. The whole purpose of the book is to get people to change their mindset about money and the only way to do that is to make it interesting and exciting. 

This book has only further increased my excitement about investing in real estate and/or anything else.

Thanks for the advice! I've been looking for REI clubs near Waco and have come to the same conclusion. Being a student there's a little more flexibility in being able to travel to Austin or Dallas for a club. For the ones that you have gone to, how long do they typically last?

@Vinh Le Thanks for the advice! It's definitely on my reading list. 

@Michael S. @Victor Rios @Mark Nolan @Dmitriy Fomichenko @sohrab khosravi @Jonathan Bonck thank you!

@Paul Timmins Thanks Paul! I know all about overpriced student housing. Haha

Wow this community is so welcoming!

Welcome to BP @Alexander Plott.  My first wholesale deal was in Waco actually (home town) while I was attending Texas A&M.  

Anyway, BP is the right place to get started. Dive on in and plug in to any local REI meetings to network.

 Thanks Chris. I still have a couple years before I can invest in a property and Waco is definitely at the top of my list to start looking.

Good evening Alexander. Welcome to BP! Welcome to the club, I am also in search of financial freedom. Sounds amazing doesn't it! Only advice I can give you at this point, as a fellow newb, is to do what I'm doing, and try to "break" the learn tab everyday!

Good luck!

 Thanks James! I'm about to start reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". Heard it was good!

Hello everyone!

My name is Alex Plott and I'm currently a junior at Baylor University studying accounting and finance. I have no previous experience in real estate.

My ultimate goal in real estate investment is for it to help me become financially free. I'm more interested in the buy-and-hold rentals part of REI then anything else at this point (although my interests may change later). I understand that REI is a lot of hard work but I'm ready for a challenge and will do what it takes.

I was originally brought to this website by realestateinyourtwenties.com!

I'm excited to engage in learning and discussion with you all!
