I'm so new I haven't even been born yet
My name is Rodney Sheppard. I'm 24 years old and so far I've only gotten my toes wet in the realm of investing. I've dabbled in options trading and cryptocurrency but I'm switching my strategy up and planning to build businesses and real estate assets so I can have multiple streams of income while working a 9-5. My ultimate goal is to develop a passive income and become financially independent so I have more time doing important things like...saving the world and searching for long lost treasures and civilizations.
I really would like to understand how to invest in Real Estate and become successful at it so I can be an example of success and also continue this tradition of charity by informing the uninformed. Anyone in the Twin Cities area please feel free to invite me to any meet-ups or events, if not, don't worry I'll pick up the ball once I get the hang of it.

Hey Rodney! Welcome man. Im no one to preach because I'm a newbie as well. But for the last year I've been reading reading reading. And bigger pockets is like your "golden ticket". Seriously take advantage of all the free guides, blogs, courses, webinars, and mentors. Listen to all of the podcasts. I've learned so much and I'm about to start my first deal. Best of Luck with everything!
