18 Year Old seeking to provide value

Posted

I am currently 18 and looking to start fixing and flipping houses/Mobile Homes.  I first want to learn the business and seek possible mentorship before tackling the market.  I have a good amount of capital saved up.  A question I have is where can I network and meet real estate investors who are where I want to be?  If you are an Investor that would be open to me tagging along to a project you are currently working on or an Investor that can benefit from me providing value in ways such as driving for dollars etc.  I would love to get in contact with you and talk about this further.

Hey Sebastian, Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

We similarly started out with the plan to Flip a couple of houses then started to Hold.

There is much to learn, especially when just getting started and I would encourage you to invest some time in your education.

I've found Audible Audiobooks are a great resource to learn from. I use Audible daily. I can listen to books and educate myself on whatever I want while at the gym, in the car, etc.

A couple I'd recommend to you based on your post are..

FLIP - How to Find, Fix, and Sell Houses for Profit

The Book on Flipping Houses How to Buy, Rehab, and Resell Residential Properties

This book is not currently available on Audible but a must read

The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs - J Scott

Bigger Pockets has become one of my best resources. I encourage you to get involved, ask questions, be open to feedback, and allow other seasoned investors to help guide you along your journey of Real Estate Investing.

I'd also check out local REIA meetings, this can be a great place to get to know other investors in your area and network with people.

Best of Luck!
