Hey there Carlos, good to seem some like-minds from south Florida on here. To be honest I am a little hesitant on signing up with any new mentors. I had a not so great experience my first time around so it has left sort of a bad taste in my mouth. With that said though, I am still at the crossroad of where the heck do I begin? I am not saying that there aren't unbelievable mentors and possibly programs and partnerships for beginners, I am just hesitant to spend any more money that I could possibly invest elsewhere. I hear from everyone that the very first one is the hardest and I think that with the unknown lingering combined with the lack of experience it absolutely is. At this time I am still trying to absorb as much as I possibly can, with plans on pulling th trigger in the near future.

I have been trolling around on this site since it was introduced to me a few weeks back and I have found myself lost for hours at a time and I decided today was the day I would make it happen.

I am living down here in South Florida making a salary I never thought I would see in my life, let alone at 23 years old. I have a background in construction through a vocational high school and a business degree that I have always dreamt of meshing the two together to get into the real estate investment world. Without a lot of capital or experience I took charge and enrolled in a mentorship program from an investor down here specializing in lease purchase. It was presented to me in a way that I couldn't turn down so I spent months scrolling through FSBO ads, emailing homeowners, marketing, and have nothing to show for it. Recently I have come to the conclusion that if I want to get into the rehab and fix and flip specialties of real estate I am going to have to take charge, switch strategies, roll up my sleeves, and get into it.

What I don’t have however, is the experience and knowledge. I am curious as to how some of you all on here began or what advice you would have to a 23 year old, eager and financially stable individual just getting started. I really am excited to hear what you all have to say and look forward to sharing in the future as I gain experience, thank you!
