Mark-newbie from Ohio
Hello all, my name is Mark and I am an aspiring 18 year old from southwest Ohio. I don't really have much experience except watching my parents rent/flip houses, and I have saw both their financial knowledge and stability increase tremendously. Because of this, real estate has become of interest to me over the past couple years, and just looking for knowledge from people smarter than me. Thank you for your time.

Having parents already in the game, puts you at a great advantage. Many newbies hope to find (partner up) with a mentor. You already have those mentors, and they are your own parents. How awesome is that! Talk to them, and tell them your intentions. Show interest, and pick their brains. Learn from them as much as you can. Also, take the initiative to read, and teach yourself. Visit BP, and ask questions as well. The professionals who are on here, are a blessing!... Many opinions and feedback, with a common goal of helping out.
