Starting out fresh
I’m 19, and after sitting down and really thinking about what I want to do with my life I decided real estate is the path I want to pursue. I am completely new to this and just starting out researching around and am wondering the best ways to start out as a young investor. I’m interested in buying and selling, rental and property development. My goal is to one day have this be my only source of income. Any help would be much appreciated.
