19-Year-Old Real Estate Agent in Rochester, NY, Looking to Start Investing.
Hey everyone,
I’m a 19-year-old real estate agent based in Rochester, NY. I’ve been in the industry for a little under a year now and have gained a solid understanding of the market here. I’m hitting a bit of a roadblock when it comes to funding.
I’m eager to start building a portfolio, but being young and not having substantial savings yet means I’m looking for advice on how to secure capital to get started. I’d love to hear your thoughts on strategies that have worked for you.
- -What are some ways to fund my first investment deal?
- -Are there any specific resources, lenders, or partnerships I should look into?
I’m committed to learning and putting in the work, but any guidance or insight from those who’ve been through this journey would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
