Young Newbie From Saint Louis!

Hey all!

My name is Alex and I'm 21. I'm a fitness addict and bilateral amputee! In the past i've had experience with entertainment, appearing on PBS and taking part in local films and grabbing a news spot. 

I'm currently getting my license to start agent work with a Berkshire Hathaway company with a broker who has some experience with rentals who is always available to talk and very welcoming and helpful. I figure getting started with agent work would be a good idea to get more comfortable with all the terms, numbers, and get some capital in general. I'm really looking for a more aggressive mentor to learn from, however.

In any case, my plan is to simply start with one multi family rental property to get my feet wet with investing and increase as much as possible from that experience. I'm interested in doing flips and wholesaling and new development as well.

In terms of rental, the goal is to move into commercial as soon possible (I'm not knowledgeable enough to determine when it's possible as of yet, still learning!)

I like having stuff to do, I like exciting deals, working for myself and having money work for me. I recall at a very young age specifically asking my grandma, a seasoned commercial property manager, when she would talk about her boss... "why don't you just be the boss?" 

And 10 years later... well here I am!

Any comments or connections are much appreciated! Looking forward.
