Investment Goals as a 23 year old in college
I'm 23 years old, from VA Beach ,VA. I am a freshman in college, learning graphic and digital animation. I currently run and operate a mobile detailing business as my main source of income. My invest include my business and crypto currency. I want to get into mobile home parks. How long should I study before I begin my journey to buy and renting my firs mobile home, without becoming a person that looks into it so much and never take action.

Welcome to BP @Xavier Nguyen! There's no perfect amount of time to spend studying before making a move. Some people feel prepared enough after 1 week, others after 1 year. It's just important to remember that you may never feel "100% ready". Read/listen/dive into the strategy you are planning to use, as well as some general REI know-how, and take TANGIBLE steps. Whether that is analyzing a property, contacting a Realtor, a lender, etc.
The more you can hold yourself accountable, the better! You got this!
