Hi! My name is Kevin. I'm 22 and a full time student about to receive my associate's in Accounting. I just became part time at work because after a year and a half of full time work and school, I realized I couldn't do both effectively. 

A few months ago, I started reading up on books and articles and I came to the conclusion I want to be a property investor. I do not want to work a 9-5 accounting position for the rest of my life. I've read plenty of articles around the Internet, plenty through this website, and read a couple books (Rich Dad, Poor Dad). 

I wanted some personal advice on how I should start. I want to invest in property by either buying foreclosed homes, renovating, and reselling... or buying a multifamily house (triplex or quad), living in one apartment, renting the other 2-3 out. That is the way I'm leaning to more. Now even with my part time job, I believe I can still save about $10k this year. 

All I want is to start as early as possible, because from what I've heard and read, people say their biggest mistake is not starting earlier. It's the law of compounding interest. Feel free to state any questions, comments, or concerns please!
