20 year old newbie New Orleans

[Malcolm Darensbourg]

How's everyone doing? Although this is not my first post, I've never introduced myself as an member. My name is Malcolm and I'm located in Laplace Louisiana. It's about 20 miles from New Orleans. I've been doing research on real estate for about a year now. With all the studying I've been doing I think it's time for me to take the next step. I was introduced to real estate by my father. He currently has a portfolio of at least 20 properties give or take. It seems like a great way to jumpstart other opportunities in life and become financially Independent at some point in life. What are some tips or advice that you all have for a 20 year old newbie? I'm open to hearing anything and everything. My life goal is to put my family in a position to be financially successful multiple generations from now. Thanks for taking your time to read this.
