@Joshua Noth I found my goal on here. I want to make 10K a month from rental properties preferably from duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. Would you say 10K a month is doable by 30? Starting at 19-20?

@James Maradits hey man I’ve applied to positions for property manager assistant and things like that. There is a $1 pay cut from what I make now but 50 hours instead of max 40 and I should be learning more about the industry. My parents are going to start making me pay rent so I am definitely going down the house hack route

Hey everybody my name is Benjamin Swartz and I live in Lakewood, Ohio (Cleveland Suburb). I would really appreciate if you are able to take the time to read and reply. I recently dropped out of college a week ago to pursue real estate while working as well. I got started 2 months ago of course by reading Rich Dad Poor Dad which started my passion from stock trading to real estate. I have only a couple grand saved up (with excellent credit) and don't really know where to start. Looked at wholesaling which after listening to bigger pockets podcast is pretty common for newbies to start. I'm extremely dedicated to learning as much as I can. I feel pretty lost right now I know as soon as I find my niche I can jump full steam into it. I would love to add any kind of value I can whatever way that is while being able to learn more. Thank you for reading I really appreciate it.
