You’re right, I do lust after fake social media sometimes and I’m am trying to get away from my phone as much as I can. I will attend this meetings and keep my job and I think I feel a little better about it because of what you said. You’re right, I am only 18 and Rome was not built in a day. I also do plan to keep my job and I plan to slowly learn about it until I do know enough.  

Hey guys, my name is Gavin. I just turned 18 a few months ago and while I have a 9-5 job, this is not something I want to have to do the rest of my life. I’ve been reading books and dabbling in the stock market and things of that nature. Real estate is the main investment that has caught my eye right now. However, I am experiencing decision paralysis. I am searching for help or advice on getting started and building this thing from the ground up. (Including building a team because I know all of it at some point is going to be too much for just me to handle). I do believe that I am going to have to do some saving up as a form of cushion before I start this process. But if there is a way to start out slowly with a smaller amount of funds, I’m all ears. I’m also open to any advice or help that may benefit someone like me who’s totally new to real estate or better yet new to investing and creating a portfolio all together. (Mainly focused on real estate though for right now).

My name is Gavin. I just turned 18 a couple months ago and while I do work a 9-5 job, it is my dream to not have to do this forever. I have dabbled in real estate a little but haven’t made any serious moves. I honestly do not where to start, who to have as a partner, or what type to invest in. Overall, I just have decision paralysis. I also need to get some of my ducks in a row before I start (or I feel that I do at least). It would be nice to have someone to partner up with if possible or just someone that could offer me advice on this path to financial freedom. I plan to create a diverse portfolio by some point in my life but feel that the best investment so far to start in is real estate. My main plan to use real estate for is to eventually generate passive income. However, there are so many options, it almost  scares me… Some options I have to be an actual agent and some I don’t. I just want help or advice on building it from the ground up and not getting overwhelmed by all the options at once and take baby steps towards the bigger picture. I am currently reading the bigger pockets book “how to invest in real estate for beginners”.
