Advice or tips for a 25 year old?
Hey everyone! I’m pretty new to real estate investing and have awful credit and not a lot of money. I also don’t have a lot of connections or friends in the industry.
I figured my best way to start is through wholesaling until I can build up enough liquid cash to put into a fix and flip or a hold. (Right?)
How do I start exactly? Do I gather a team of people? Like a title notary, agent etc? Or do I focus on gathering buyers and sellers?
What would you do in my situation? I’m mostly interested in buying apartments. Any advice or tips would help!

@Jonathan Greene is right. What do you bring to the game? Anything? Start now, work hard. Learn everything you can about RE and construction, go to meet-ups. Rebuild your credit. Save money by working 2 jobs.....
You can do this, but you're starting off in a hole, you'll have to work harder and be smarter!
