I'm 19 years old and I want to start investing in real-estate with FHA

Max Fils Remfort
Posted

Hello, everyone!

I'm Max Fils, a 19-year-old college student eager to kickstart my financial journey. My current aim is to save up and invest in a 4-plex once I graduate. I've been immersing myself in videos, books, and online resources, and it has led me to the exciting world of real estate, particularly house hacking. I'd love to hear your tips and recommendations! Are there any specific areas in the US worth exploring?

Thank you all for your assistance and advice!

Edit: I am actually looking into properties in Philadelphia!

Hey Max, great idea! I did a similar thing and bought my first property at 21 right as I graduated college. I would say get involved now and immerse yourself in the local groups and connect with as many people as you can to get your eyes on deals. In most groups, you will find a good majority of the people invest in other markets and that may help you get an idea of where to invest. I am happy to offer assistance in connecting you with an agent in any area you are interested in. I also would say a good rule of thumb for starting is investing in an area you know well. Also, I would not limit yourself to the type of property at the start, I think personally the best way to start is to just get a good deal. Good luck and let me know if I can help in any way.
