Looking to grow my career/portfolio

[Carter Trombley]

Hello BP,  I have been in this mental loop and hoping for some advice, I am 19 years young and am currently in a partnership on 2 commercial properties located in Buffalo NY. I want to keep in mind that I do most of the renovation and am not a major financial outlet. I also happen to be employed by my partner, I do lots of work for his property maintenance and renovations.

My major concern is when I have a not so large income how can I grow outside of purchasing a property which is not very feasible at the moment. I know this could mean switch to another job to keep learning my trade or taking courses on project management. However I would love to hear more about how others have improved on themselves professionally when in a similar scenario. 

P.S. Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully sharing you knowledge!!
