@Thomas Moore

It makes me feel good that most of the things you advised I’ve already been doing. Grant Cardone is a big inspiration to me both from the real estate and sales perspective. Thanks for the reply!

@Ian Holtson

Appreciate the advice Ian! I’ll definitely look into your book recommendation too, sounds like something I’d be interested in reading.

@Brian Wilson

That’s some great advice I’ll definitely take into account. I’ll also keep your offer to message you in mind, thanks for being open and available if I have any questions. I really appreciate it!

@Jonathan R.

Thanks man. As for your advice about selling stuff, I already do e-commerce. I also do some swing-trading. Looking to trade more aggressively and extensively whenever I can open my own private account at 18. As for the college thing, I agree with you. My income from my day job will give me capital to invest with for my first several years. Hoping to scale quickly so I can start real estate investing full time as relatively quickly as possible while being smart about it and managing my risk.

@Nathan Burnett

Thanks for the advice Nathan and your offer! I’ll definitely take you up on that! Also, I’m sorry to hear that there is so much speculative investing going on NWA, banking on appreciation etc. Even from what limited knowledge I have, I know that is not a good thing especially in a high market like we have today. I was hoping to focus my investment efforts in the Little Rock area when I get to that point, but this is based largely off things that I have heard and I’d obviously do my own research before making that decision. What are your thoughts, if any, on the market in that area? Do you think it’s plagued by the same issues as NWA?

@Tim Gordon

I largely agree with you. The degree could be perceived as little more than a great way to rack up student debt. The reason I’m pursuing my college degree is so that when I am starting out I can have a steady stream of earned income to invest with until I get to the point where I can afford to do real estate full time. Just like I have a passion for real estate, I also have a passion for the equities markets and that’s why I’m choosing security investments as my major. I feel I can learn about real estate well enough outside of school, but I want to be skilled in both regards (stock and real estate investing).

@Ryan Luby

That’s some great advice Ryan. Definitely will look to implement what you said into what I’m already doing. I really like what you said about how successful people are always looking to optimize their time/business and helping them do that can be a great way to provide value. Really good way of looking at it that I’m sure will be extremely helpful to me. Thanks!

@Robert Norvell

Do we have one in Fort Smith? I’ve looked online but the only local one I could find was in Little Rock. If there’s one in Fort Smith I’d love to attend.
