Hello!

[Benjamin Jass]

Hello everyone! My name is Benjamin Jass, 21 years old in a couple months. I’m happy to have joined the community as I’ve recently gained a great interest in real estate and flipping.

I’m very driven on the fact that I want to completely avoid renting an apartment. I hate the idea of having to pay for something endlessly without any value gained from it. I want to get a home off the bat. I want to get dirty with homes because I feel I have a good baseline to become successful.

• I’m incredibly self motivated, goal orientated
• I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to make money, haha.
• I have lots of experience working with my hands, and I currently have a job remodeling apartments.

I’ve:

• Installed new lighting, expanded electrical and put in fans
• Lots of plumbing work in kitchens and bathrooms.
• Framed walls, drywall, mudded and painted
• Worked on cars for over 5 years
• Minor landscaping
• Have PLENTY of tools

Point Being: I don’t know everything and definitely can’t do everything, but I’m that classic DIYer with a good head on my shoulders eager to try and learn new things.

I understand I have plenty of research I need to do regarding first home buying. I have more saving I need to do so I have plenty of time to research.

Credit score is around 705.

Only about 1,500 saved at the moment.

Grossing 32k per year, living in MN

Does anyone have any tips on where I should start? Any books I should read? Types of homes to shoot for? Am I completely out of my mind? Haha. Any, and I mean any advice I’d appreciate. When I get a goal in my mind, I will work towards it no looking back. Just in the process of formulating exactly what I should be shooting for?

Many thanks.
