Hello, 

My name is Andrew, I am 19. I am a very new investor, I got into real estate for various reasons. I've always been very poor, I grew up with absolutely nothing. Everything I have to my name has been earned by me. As a result of how I was raised I am very ambitious and I have very big goals that I want to accomplish. And a typical 9-5 job just wont do it. 

I joined the Army when I was a junior in high school to serve and to pay for college, only to get back to find out they cut our benefits by 50%. A short while after this I was given a book that changed my life and started getting me to question the traditional system and society. Since then I have read many more books and expanded my knowledge.

I now see college as a means to make you a middle class slave (for most people) I see real estate as a means to achieve financial freedom and a way to get the most out of life. Because of the above reasons I decided not to attend college for a few years and focus all of my time and energy on real estate. 

 I am very interested in networking around and learning from much more experienced and knowledgeable investors

Thanks for checking out my post!
