Youngin' looking for knowledge

Basically as it says above I'm 21 and got serious about my finances about a year ago. I'm hoping that by starting early I can achieve financial independence sooner rather than later. I realize its a journey so I'm just here to spectate and absorb all the knowledge I can while I save enough to take the plunge. Lots of questions lots of curiosity I don't know where to start. Hopefully here; so my first question is: Where did the capital for your first investment come from and could you tell me about the steps you took to get it. Thank you so much, so excited to start learning.

Flavio, congrats on entering the world of real estate investing. At the age of 21, all you have to do is buy houses. Rent the houses, offer seller financing, offer lease options, offer lease purchases. HOLD your real estate. You'll be a multi-millionaire by the time your 30! Your investors/partners? Learn everything you can. Ask for advice. Work for free. Create a following! You will need people who trust you. Use your circle of influence! Use your network, friends, family, connections whenever and whenever you can get them. Don't waisted time and money on websites and SEO. Investing is personal. Have enthusiasm and spread the word. The first deal is always the toughest. Soon you will be thriving! Congrats on your decision to become financially sound and your own boss. It's an incredible business! Go get 'em- Dave Dalzell, Scottsdale, AZ
