I think it would be great to hear what the bigger pockets community would do in this position: If forced to re-start from the beginning with no capital, no credit, and no connections, what would your first step be. Would you build capital and then invest? Build connections and maybe a partnership. Find a hard money lender for initial capital? Tell us what you would do and how. Thank you for your time! -Elijah

I would start sooner.  I am trying to educate my high school age daughter and help her to capitalize on opportunities that I never knew existed.  School does an incredibly poor job of educating our kids on issues of money, so I am trying to show my kids how to avoid some of the pitfalls that I jumped into.
