Newer to Bigger Pockets, But 1 year Investing Experience

[Kadan Atkin]

Hello Bigger Pockets :) 

My name is Kadan Atkin and I would love to share my story with you all. 

I am 20 years old and graduated high school with the honors of both Valedictorian and Student Body President ( graduated with a small class of 122 students)

I have been involved in investing for about 2 years have assisted with flipping my brothers homes @Jordan Atkin ( approximately  20 homes in 2 years) during this time frame. 

I did my first deal on my own when I was 19 ( I closed on my birthday) and during my first year of investing I closed 6 transactions 2 Bird dogs, 1 wholesale, 2 hard money loans and a home purchase. 

I also worked on a real estate investment team where we have closed just over 20 wholesales this year, purchased 18 units this year and done a couple agent transactions here and there. I by no means closed all of these by myself @Trevor Thompson @Matt Atkinson @Lani Juett @Linda Lisle. I have also assisted in property management of the 72 units that our team currently manages :). 

I would love to learn more for everyone's experience and ask: If you could start over again at 18 what would you do better the second time? 

I am always looking to grow and to learn. I am most interested in owning apartment units and commercial property (currently i own my personal residence with partners and it is working wonderfully !). 

Any advise or tips for a young investor would be heard and implemented :)
