Excited, aspiring investor coming from Orlando, Fl!

[Hae-Yuan Chang]

Hey everyone! Nice to virtually meet you!

I am very stoked to be member of Bigger Pockets. I am a 21 year old aspiring investor and entrepreneur. I am taking a permanent college hiatus to pursue big things. Other interests include dancing, vegan cooking, fitness, sustainable living, and graphic design! My goal in life would have to be being able to fund all my creative ventures by means of passive incomes. It's also my dream to take my parents on trips and show the the world. So, I have decided to start now, as I am still young.

I have already planned on buying and holding the house I currently reside in (buying next May) and plan on acquiring another buy and hold this year. The only thing I am worried about is not having and never having income. I know for loans you need to show two years of income, but I don't have this. I don't want to take a job to fulfill this requirement. My mom is willing to be a partner and get a loan through her, however! I am doing more research whether this could eventually count as income for me.

Being a real estate investor would be out of my comfort zone, which I'm incredibly excited for. I'm a bit of an introvert, and I have been learning how to negotiate and the art of speaking. I have a knack for design and marketing, which I will use to propel me forward. There are so many things that real estate investing will teach me, and I'm embracing it! The art of creative financing and real estate in general is fascinating and I am ready for the journey!

If you have any tips for young, aspiring investors, please let me know! And feel free to reach out! Once again, nice to meet all of you. I will be hanging around these forums often.
