Just turned 20, "Retire" by 25?

[John Belluardo]

Hello BP Community!

My Name is John Belluardo and I am a junior accounting student at Ohio State. I just wanted to introduce myself and start to connect with the community. I have been studying real estate for the past couples months, saving a bit of money, and trying to build my credit. I have decided that I would like to use "buy and hold" investments to build wealth through cash flow and slowly increasing equity. A goal of mine is to create enough income through real estate so that I have the option to "retire" from the corporate world by the age of 25 to transition to real estate full time. I just turned 20, and am currently wanting to start investing in Columbus, OH. I do have student debt but I am looking to "house hack" my first duplex/triplex by the time I turn 21. I have and internship with an accounting firm for this winter so ideally when I graduate I will have a nice 9-5 income to invest with. My investing goal is to have 50 doors by 25 that cash flow at least 100 dollars a month.

What are your thoughts?

If you're in Columbus or a similar situation I would love to connect and hear what you have to say.

Any thoughts on the Columbus, Ohio market? or creative financing to be able to buy a house with student loans?

Thanks for taking the time to hear my story!
