Seeking Guidance...
Hello Everyone,
Im seeing guidance. I'm a young entrepreneur, who absolutely loves business. I'm not to familiar with the Real-estate field, so please for give my ignorance.
Brief summary:
I'm twenty two years for age, working full time for an engineering firm as a test engineer. How intriguing that might sound it really isn't. I also attend school part-time and I have a part-time business. Okay, enough of the boring stuff.
Question:
I have been quite interested in the Real-estate field and now i'm seeking guidance. I wanted to know how everyone felt about building or buying a duplex. Why I said Building first my farther is a general contractor, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to build a duplex for cheap. I also have an investor that is would like to pertisapate in my conquest. As a first time investor in the real-estate field I was wondering how everyone felt about investing into DUPLEXS? I have also been reading up on "TIC" Tenants in common, However, I few question to ask if anyone has dabbled with program. I'm not looking to get rich in short period of time. Like I said before I'm an entrepreneur, so I know how the waiting process goes. "I'm just looking for a mentor to set me in the right direction and create a passive income."
I greatly appreciate an advice given.
