21 year old How to start the REI journey?
My name is Kenny and i'm 21 years old. I've always been a money-knowledgeable young man; credit (760 score), stocks, roth ira, 401k, etc. My next goal is to get my first rental property before i turn 24. I just started watched a lot of videos on BRRRR, house hacking, and whatnot on Bigger Pockets. I personally do not have the funds to put a down payment worth 25%, but i do have family that may be able to help me if i can actually find a deal and can explain it to them if it makes sense (my mother mostly likely and my grandmother!) I am really driven to get properties, but just figuring out the market i can target. I go to school in Orlando and my mother lives in Fort Lauderdale, which i think are really good areas to invest I THINK. Mind you, my mother has never had a house yet, so when she does get one, it can maybe be a duplex or whatnot (just a thought). What are the steps for me to get in real estate investing?
