Good evening everyone,

I have several family members that could be considered real estate investors, having retired early by purchasing rental properties using conventional mortgages and living off of the cashflow.

Being 20 years old, with a negative net-worth, and unemployed, I did not believe that real estate investing was even something I should be thinking about at this point in time.

However, after watching last nights Webinar "How to Buy Your First (or Next) Rental Property in the Next 90 Days!" I now believe that there is no better time to get started than the present. I have a personal credit score of >700, have the available time and energy to educate myself, put in sweat equity, and pursue creative financing.

My goal is to purchase my first property by November 7th, 2016. (My 21st Birthday).

To achieve this goal, I have purchased a 1 year subscription to BiggerPockets Pro, and plan on working every single day to educate myself further in Real Estate Investing. No more dead space!

I have read through the ultimate beginners guide today, tomorrow I plan on reading "The book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down", and then start working through the recorded Webinars and Podcasts.

Any suggestions and/or tips to help me along my journey would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
