New to Real Estate & Too Young to Start!

[Nate Hubley]

Hi all!

My name is Nate and I am 17 years old from Boston. I just found out about the glory of passive income in late 2019, knowing that I did not want to live my whole life at a corporate job. I got started with the stock market, hoping to have sustainable cash flow over time. I soon found out that dividend investing, though great and certainly possible, couldn't generate the cash flow I wanted being so young and having little access to capital. I then stumbled upon Brandon Turner's Rental Property Investing book, and I immediately fell in love with Real Estate. Soon after, I discovered that house hacking could potentially generate the cash flow I was looking for, even with little money down.

I wish to connect with some people who perhaps started out young and have some experience with house hacking(especially in expensive markets). I hope to graduate from college with a Business degree in 2024, and start to house hack my way to financial freedom then!

Hey @Nate Hubley,

Congrats to you for your ambition! I am willing to help you out with some advice or even chat on the phone if you wish. But I recommend you read this article I wrote for Bigger Pockets titled How to Invest in Real Estate Before Turning 21. Once you've read it, let me know your thoughts and if you have any questions. I also recommend you read the book The House Hacking Strategy by @Craig Curelop. Best of luck and hope to chat soon!
