alright hows it going guys?

my name is Charles and like the subject says im from new york. I will be 21 years old in July. I was contimplating on blocking my age because i really want to be takin serious as a potential investor. A little history on me ... i come from a middle class family that has always been a little bit behind the eight ball . my parents struggled but gave me everything i wanted and did everything they could for me, however money was always an issue. I decided that although i love them dearly i will never have to worry about money like i saw day after day. I have recently become dedicated with becoming successful and real estate really intrigues me.

My long term goal is to own apartment buildings or at least one. I want as much cashflow coming to me as humanly possible. This is my dream and i will stop at nothing to achieve it. As of right now i am working 2 jobs, both of which are in the sales industry and things in this economy is not easy, however i feel this will serve me well in getting to where i want to be with being able to talk and finagle my way into some deals in the future. As far as money goes i have around 6,000 saved and save a nice chunk of change each check that comes in. I spent the last week or so taking in as much info as I can before even registering on this website. I know i have alot to learn and i figure this is the best place to do so.

To be honest other then what has been stated i dont know much ...i know that it is vital to build a team who you can trust and that are honest. The biggest reason i registered right now is in hopes of finding a mentor on this site.. i know everyone that is a vet is a mentor whenever they post aiding people and answering questions, however i am a hands on person and learn quickly that way. i would love to find somone as dedicated as i am and is already successful to show me the ins and outs of this buisness .

IM sorry for rambling but i wanted to let you guys know that i am in 150% and to the people who created this site thank you so much for at least making this oppertunity available
