Help Me Please!! I Need it!
I'm at ground zero when It comes to real estate investing. I'm 23 and just trying to find a basis for where to start. The goals is to flip houses but also create a portfolio of rental properties. Also open to learning how to wholesale properties. All input is greatly appreciated! I need my first DEAL!
