*Time Machine Back to Your Early 20s*

Besides picking the winning lottery numbers, shorting all the stocks and just happening across this legendary idea of electric cars and going to mars.. what would you differently in your early 20s finically, business, and personal development?

What are the big pitfalls you would avoid, and growing pains of scaling to slowly, or too fast?

How would you approach this game of real estate investing with a strategy to minimize the learning curve of real estate mastery?

Would you quit that early career that you already know isn’t the long term plan and go work under a master of real estate investing or leverage it to build the savings to build the portfolio?

Use the VA loan, buy a damned property at that point in my life. I was stationed at one point in DC and at another point in SoCal, both areas have appreciated significantly (rent and values) since that point in my life.
