Overwhelmed isn’t the word

[Alyssa Jones]

Well I can start by saying hi , so hi. Alyssa is my name. Just turned 22, college drop out as of recently. Got a full ride scholarship to play ball and study. I worked tirelessly, gave everything I had for this sport. But I never did it for myself, I did it for others. Hated school even at my youngest and eventually started hating people. I know , I know... some of your are probably like what the HECK! I would have killed for a free education. I get it.

I have different goals and ambitions. Making this decision cut basically everyone out of my life. Even the closest person to me. My father. Kicked out, on the street. Never did I think in a million years life would be what it is today. But I found something that’s worth it to me. I found this place, bigger pockets, I found real estate. No this isn’t a sob story, I’m sure it’s similarly to some people on this app. But I guess there goes my questions and concerns. How did you guys do it. Sometimes I find myself so overwhelmed. I get the same answers and it’s just people boasting on themselves. Knowing damn well a lot are given hand outs.

I’ve been studying real estate and speaking to people for the last 7 months. Fell in love. I know my potential, I got sick of people telling me what my potential was and where it can lead me. .

I just started my credit. So it’s about 3 months old. I have no debt. Too stubborn to work under someone, as far as commercial stores and retail. I want to flip my first house just like everyone just starting out. Do I do this with a partner ? Do I venture on my own. I have little savings, I’m black , I am a lesbian and I feel I have everyone and thing against me. I worked so hard for others, I don’t want to work hard for myself.

This is my mind currently, guidance would be appreciated, real guidance, real people who have real stores of failure and success. Steps on how. I know not everyone is going to go through the same things or follow the same paths. I didn’t and I might as well make something out of it , right ?
