How do I find a real estate partner when I only make $15 an hour?

[Jose Lopez]

Hi, I am 16 years old and I want to get a rental property, but I don't have enough money yet, and I will soon have a job that only makes me $15 an hour, so I have considered getting a partner, but where do I find a partner that could potentially finance a real estate deal?

@Jose Lopez you can do this. When I ask what would I look for in a young inexperienced investor, here is what I see. Someone I admire at the stage they are in. Share that you are looking forward to your first deal. Go to meet ups. Listen and learn. Work on creating a clear vision. Be a go to guy for others. Bird dog deals for investors. Help with rehabs. Be consistent. Save up some money. Get to know meet up organizers. Show up early to help set up. Clean up after. Run technology. Mow rental yards when vacant. There are lots of things you can do that are little and they add up. Be faithful in the little things and the bigger things will come.
