Quote from @Caleb Brown:

I would focus on being an agent first and building that business. It takes 2-3 years to get it off the ground and adding investing in the mix would be too much. Being 19 you have plenty of time. Build your database and clients. Save for a house hack in the meantime. Focus on having a budget and having a strong financial base


 Thanks! Good advice, Do you have any tips for me to build my database more and build my cliental? Im in college so I meet new people everyday and that alone is a huge resource. Any other ideas would be awesome!

Hey everyone,

I’m a 19-year-old real estate agent based in Rochester, NY. I’ve been in the industry for a little under a year now and have gained a solid understanding of the market here. I’m hitting a bit of a roadblock when it comes to funding.

I’m eager to start building a portfolio, but being young and not having substantial savings yet means I’m looking for advice on how to secure capital to get started. I’d love to hear your thoughts on strategies that have worked for you.

  • -What are some ways to fund my first investment deal?
  • -Are there any specific resources, lenders, or partnerships I should look into?

I’m committed to learning and putting in the work, but any guidance or insight from those who’ve been through this journey would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
