New Hopeful investor from MN

Hi, my name is Justin Miest I am 23 years old and brand new to real estate. I attended a 2 year technical program out of high school and have been working in that field for a few years. I realized early on that this is not what I want to do for the rest of my life and I plan to escape the "rat race" as fast as possible. I've been searching for a tool to help me reach financial independence and I really think real estate can be that main tool if done right. I attempted starting an online wholesale business but realized I really did not enjoy it at all. I have been reading books and listening to the BP podcasts as much possible. After reading Set For Life by Scott Trench I Really like his approach to financial independence. I am planning to learn as much as possible over the next year or so while I pay off the last of my debt and grow my savings to a solid amount. Then I plan to buy a 3 or 4 unit multi-family in the Minneapolis or Rochester MN area and "house hack." After this I am planning to grow my portfolio in what ever way seems best and hopefully reach financial independence before 30 years old. I am open to any suggestions. My passion/hobbies in life are spending time with my friends and family, Racing and riding motorcycles, and continuous learning and self improvement. Excited to be on Bigger pockets and hope to grow and learn along with everyone else!

Welcome to BP Justin Miest

I also ride but don’t have the skills to race yet...

Love the househacking strategy. I’ve done it for the past two years and am selling mine now to buy more rentals. I’ll be looking for another after I sell this one.
