Raising Money As A Teenager
Hello,
I'm trying to raise money to start my future real estate venture and I understand plenty of people use hard money and private money. The thing is I do not have any experience yet so i'd like to raise enough to do 1 project and have my credibility rolling from there. I'm currently a full time college student working a part-time 20-30hrs/week but I don't think that's enough I currently only have 2k. Right now i'm starting out so i'm just focusing on education but I want to be raising money at a rate that I can achieve my goal to start a RE career by the time college is over. (7-10k)
What would you guys advise if you were in my shoes?
Best Regards,
Brian Tran

Keep your presence alive here at biggerpockets. Since you have a small amount of cash right now, look into the wholesaling niche. I hear Wholesaling for Dummies is very useful. I actually met a wholesaler who swears by that book. He started after reading the book twice. Now this does not mean this will work for you or me or absolutely everyone. But it is a start and at least one person was able to launch from there.
