Twenty one and Starting

[Nichole Luevano]

Hello, I am very new to all of this and I would really appreciate any help I can take from anyone. I have recently become very interested in real estate/ buying properties & renting them out. That is my goal/dream job and I plan on pursuing this as my career for life. I am 21 years old with very little knowledge of how anything related to this career works. I really want to get started now but I don't exactly know where, how, and the best way to do so. As of now, I am saving up money from every paycheck I receive from my minimum wage job and trying to educate myself with what I need to know to get closer to accomplishing my goal of buying & selling properties. I do not have a credit card yet, but plan on opening up an account this week so I can start building credit because I just learned that is very important. I know this career is way more complex than the thought of just wanting to "simply" buy and rent houses, but I am very determined and aware that getting to where I want to be will take time and effort. I am willing to put in that work I just would really appreciate any advice, tips, steps on how to get there. Side note I do live in San Diego, California where prices for houses are insanely high as you all know. So I know that doesn't help but any advice will do! I need to be pointed in the right direction/path. Thank you so much for reading this, I hope to hear from anyone!
