I am 18 years old turned it in July 8th, 2020. I am curious on to your experience and stories on how you got started in rental property investing. Im not even in middle class I come from the bottom bottom (the hood or the slums) and I am motivated to listen to stories ask multiple questions and know more about real estate investing and how you got started.

@Jose Rubi

I came from dirt on food stamps so I can relate . Because you are coming from a difficult lower start point it will require you to hustle to catch up to everyone else . We

Do not have the same opportunities and some folks will need to push harder to win .You must learn the art of saving and you must have an insane work ethic and go beyond 9-5 you will need 2-3 jobs . I can assure you it will be very difficult , most will give up you will literally need to become a new person you will get your nards kicked into your throat the first few years and probably not make a dime for a while but eventually you’ll look back and see it was worth it . You must educate yourself because mistakes in this business are very expensive you must save and you must want to succeed like you want to breathe . If you do that you can’t lose you’ll eventually break through
