New Real Estate Investor
Hey everyone! I'm a 22 year old firefighter that's looking to own a couple of rental properties. I'm in the process of getting my real estate salesperson license to gain access to MLS listings as well. My main goal is it be able to retire at age 40 from my main job and work entirely on my real estate portfolio. I currently don't own any properties but I hope to buy a duplex in the coming months. Does anyone have any advice for people starting out in this competitive field?
