Ready to learn!
Hello! I wanted to make a post and introduce myself and what my goals are for bigger pockets. I am 22 years old and am young in the banking world. I purchased my first house this year and get married later this year as well. I want to be able to retire at a young age with passive income as well as make some extra income sooner. I’m very excited to learn and talk to everyone.

Hi and welcome! Congratulations on buying your first house and on your upcoming marriage - that’s a huge year! Starting this early gives you such a great advantage in building long-term wealth. A lot of investors on here, including myself, have used real estate to generate both long-term passive income and short-term cash flow.
If you're open to out-of-state investing, there are several markets in the Midwest and Southeast that are beginner-friendly and offer solid returns, especially for single-family homes and small multifamily properties under $300K. Areas like Birmingham (AL), Columbus (GA), Ocala/Citrus Springs (FL), Memphis (TN), and Akron/Canton (OH) are popular for this reason.
Excited to follow your journey! Always here to chat more about specific markets or run deal scenarios side by side.
Best of luck!
