If you could go back to your twenty year old self

[Chance Hughes]

My question to the real estate investing professionals and any other seasoned investor would be: what would you do if you was 20 years old again?

My reasoning behind this question is because I am 20 years old and I am looking to enter the real estate investing world. I am looking to start small and scale t a long term successful investor with holding of large office buildings and retail shopping centers.

In order to accumulate these assets I first need to start small and grow my knowledge, experience, and bank account.

Is it best to start of by flipping houses and using the profits to fund buy and hold rental properties or it is best to start out by buying rental properties and using the cash flow to purchase other properties. I have also heard the term wholesaling.

I would like to hear some feedback from those who understand the market and willing to answer the question: what would I do if I was 20 years old and wanting to start investing in real estate for long term success.
