19 yr old carpenter apprentice with huge dreams
Hey everyone! My name is Ethan, and I just quit my job at a factory to pursue my dream of becoming an expert carpenter that can repair my own investments! The end goal would be to have a completely remote (no main office building or anything) business where I have a team of people searching for super run down properties that need some love, and then I would have a team of my guys help me fix them and flip them. My obstacle is that when I talk to my mentors and parents about this, they tell me that theres gonna be a crash soon. And when I ask "Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?" They just say "it depends", but they aren't really experienced enough in real estate to give me anything else besides that. I'd love to know if anyone could give me a few ideas to chew on for if I wanted to buy a property with $20k in Southern California considering If had all the money lined up for any cost that would ever come up. And If my credit score checked out. I guess my main question is this: What city should I look at buying my first fix and flip house hack, in Southern California? I seriously appreciate your time if you left a comment!
