Building a Cash Base

Hello , My name is Griffin I am 20 years old living in Buffalo New York. I have become educated in several investment strategies as well as financing options. My goal now is to build a cash base to afford some down payments.

How did you build capital? I have been considering wholesaling but finding properties before the banks and realtors is proving difficult without softwares.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated

Replied

I'm old school, get a job or 2 and hustle and save your money for the down. I made extra money selling things on eBay and finding things on craigslist to resale.  It was so much harder back then.  Now with technology there are so many different ways to generate money with side hustles. 

This way you don't have to repay back anyone and you prove to yourself you can do it on your own. This will pay dividends down the road.
