Hello BP

First off next thing I'm doing right as soon as I'm done with this post I will be uploading a Profile Picture. It's about that time to do so. I think I found a community that I will be Interacting with often.

I'm new to the Real Estate. I haven't yet purchased a property. I Have just been on here absorbing as much Information about real estate as I possibly can. A Little about me. I am 22 years old with a working heart. I'm very Ambitions I like to do thing's "The right way". I'm single and living with my parent's still, and have a little bit of money saved up. I just need to make some changes, but I just can't decide quite what I want to do. I am really wanting to quit my current job I honestly absolutely hate it. I've been thinking HIGHLY about just quitting, this weekend and just taking a road trip out west. More than likely Colorado, Washington, or Oregon. I'm really not sure what state yet for sure. I currently live at home with my parent's. I am 22 years old still living at my parent's.. SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE. I'm not one to just up and quit a job. Driving a semi is NOT what I want to do for the rest of my life. I deliver to Dollar General stores. All the product is in what we call "Rolltainers". They're just carts full of DG product, and you have to unload the semi trailers by hand. You have to unload Snow, Thunderstorm, blizzard, rain. No matter the weather situation the product has to be unload from the trailer's by the end of the day, or consequences occur. Doing this everyday by yourself really sucks.  I WANT TO WORK. I love the reward of working. I have a little money saved up roughly 9k. I've been considering highly just up and leaving home, and going out west to the state's earlier listed. While going on this road trip. I want to try to find a Duplex, or Triplex, or possibly even a 4plex, and "House Hack". I don't no really if the funds I have is enough to move to Colorado I noticed the housing price's area a lot higher there. Also I'm not sure how it would be living that close to someone who is pretty much playing for you to live for free. Do tenant's usually catch on to the fact there paying the mortgage payment? I'm Really interested in the Buy&hold side of real estate, and eventually flipping. Also on this road trip I would HAVE to find a job while i was out. I can't live, and not have a source of income. More than likely I would try to find a job in the real estate field. It would help out quite a bit with me wanting to invest myself. One more thing holding me back from going on this road trip is I would have to quit my current job. I would just like to hear some any opinion's, advice is all appreciated. Thanks for sticking around for my whole story its kind of boring. I don't have much going on. THAT'S WHY I NEED A CHANGE!!

Thank you BP community Thank you so much for what you've provided from me! Everyone is Great here!!
