Hello, my name is colstan horton and I am a very enthusiastic inspiring real estate investor. I am 21 years old turning 22 in June and I have been searching for ways for me to get into real estate investing. I've have a couple of rough years (car accident in which I lost my memory, and also young the air force but being medically discharged). I have been stuck and demotivated to move on to step out into the real estate world. I work 2 jobs that I don't really love and really am determined to move on to a new stage in my life. I'm asking if anyone would know where I should step first to get myself into real estate? It's always been my passion to do it but always seem too overwhelming. Any advice would help! Thank you for reading.

Hello, I am colstan horton, and I am a young inspiring entrepreneur. I have walked many venues to get to the point of finally figuring out what i want to do with the rest of my career life. I am 21 years old that has went to college fell out of college (due to a car accident that left me without knowing who I was), went to the air force and medically released due to "health problems", to making it halfway through to becoming a fireman. I work a 9-5 job that I really hate but have to be in. I started off with looking around to find out how to get into real estate investing but never figuring out how to get my foot in. And that's what I hope I can do with this community. I have been surfing through the web to figure out how I can start but I haven' really gotten anything helpful. I am very hungry for knowledge and committed to getting the education I need! Thank you for reading my post!

3. Reach out to flippers in your area and ask to visit a property and ask a bunch of questions. Consider the helpful ones mentors

4. Start finding what your sweet spot can be

5. Look to find a partner who is more experienced

6. Then get going

Onwards!
