Hello my name is Tyler Carpenter and I am a 23 year old real estate investor/ engineer. I got into the real estate addiction a few months back when my dad gave me a book on how to keep your spirits high (Weekend Millionaires). This then led to another book by the same author about real estate and renting, and this is when I became hooked. I have since then read a few more books and just been reading anything that pertains to real estate. My real first HUGE STEP into real estate happened by total randomness. I am huge into cars and ran into someone who has a lambo and asked him what he does for a job and wouldnt you guess. Rehabing Real estate. Since then, he has taken me under his wing and is showing me the ropes and answering anything I can think of. He is an awesome guy and is basically setting me up to start a great and successful life in real estate, yet making me work hard and struggle to learn. Besides that I figured if I would surround myself with people who share the same passion as me, it would help keep everything in perspective. I hope to learn anything and everything, while seeing the negatives and possitives by asking questions from every levels of success. Cheers
