New young investor in Seattle/western WA.
Howdy, My name is Derek Robertson I am 20 years old and I have been working in construction specifically plumbing for 3 years. I am the third generation in my family involved with plumbing and more recently real estate investing. I am learning from my father who has successfully built a plumbing and heating company from nothing and has also been a successful real estate investor/builder. Currently I am taking over the plumbing company with my brother and learning the ropes of management and business. As a new venture my two brothers and I invested in run down property outside of Olympia to fix up and resale we bought with cash. I am joining this forum to learn about the different aspects I can take my investing and how to be successful. With no desire to go to a college or any friends remotely interested in real estate and investing I joined here to get advice, contribute and learn about the different approachs I can take with my bussiniess and investing future and how I can be successful.
