Recommendations for Starting Real Estate

Miles Dirmann

Posted

Hey all, I am a nineteen year-old college student out of Memphis, Tennessee. I have been listening to podcasts, books, etc. since I was about sixteen but only now am I beginning to take real estate more seriously as a career. I currently receive about $2,000 each semester since my scholarships exceed tuition, and I have about $5,000 saved up. After listening to podcasts and reviewing resources, I am intrigued by small multifamily property investing so that I could "house hack" while also fixing up that flipping that property. It seems like Memphis is also a strong cash flow market, and with inflation on the rise, any good deal I buy will appreciate over time. My question is: What are your recommendations for beginning this journey of real estate?

Let me know your thoughts and I would love to chat! Thanks.

And I applaud you for starting at 19. I only wish I had that foresight.
