The Question of a Young Aspiring Real Estate Investor
Hello, my name is Caden McBride and I reside in San Antonio TX. I'm currently 19 years old, in college, & living with my grandparents. I want to start building wealth through real estate. I have also, been listening to the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast for a few months now. I've also read a few books like "rich dad poor dad", "Why we want you to be rich", & "The richest man in Babylon". I watched hours of YouTube videos & I have a good basic understanding of real estate. My short term goal is to build about $4,000 per month in passive income. Now, my question for you all is, what do you guys think the best steps are to achieve that? (Flip in Fix, Buy and hold, airbnb, Comercial, single family, Wholesaling) Thank you!
Just some basic info about me:
credit score: Approx. 720
Funds available: 5k
Knowledge of Real Estate: Basic - Basic+
Deals done: 0
