Young investor needing advice!

[Brooklyn Hunt]

Hi, I am a complete toddler when it comes to investing and buying a house in general…Just learned what refinancing was a couple months ago. (I am 20 yrs old) Investing has always been an interest of mine and after a couple months of searching I got hired too an investment company. I am currently working on passing my SIE, Series 7, and 63. I have decided after passing these I want to obtain a real-estate license as well. Now for my dilemma my investment company I work for doesn’t offer any real estate career paths, unfortunately as it is a passion of mine. The company I work for has great benefits including retirement that I don’t want to lose. I want to invest in real state and I want to start as soon as possible. So my question is, how practical is it to work a 40hr week and still being able to invest in real estate as someone completely new to the business? What advice would you give to a young investor?

Welcome! I'd echo the advice already given.

Start hanging out with the local investor community and start talking with RE brokers and lenders who have experience and expertise in the strategy you land on.

In your case, I'd take a serious look at househacking.
