Okay everyone I am new to RE so I have some questions! I want to hear everybody's inputs!
First let me tell you that I am 18 years old, and I have my mind made up that RE is the career that I want to get into! When I end up buying my first location, I have plans to potentially buy a Duplex and rent it out until I gain a little bit of cash flow, then eventually go into flipping. Being young I don't want to go and do a million different things in RE. I feel like these two niches would be acceptable and a great start for a first timer!
How did you all educate yourself to become the best? What are the best books to read, and if you had worked to gain knowledge what would be the best job to go into?
When wanting to start with these two niches, what location would you prefer?
If you had to say suggest avoiding the thing that leads to most failure, what would it be?
I really want to hear input from as many as possible. I am just starting out so I don't plan to jump the gun and go out and buy my first property right away, I would like to learn as much as possible so that I can SUCCEED!!
