Hello everyone! I am fairly new to real estate but I have done a lot of my homework and I am only 21 (just turned) but instead just jumping into the real estate world I feel like I need to get a mentor or at least talk to someone who has already been through the steps and stages I will eventually have to go through myself to just get so insight from someone and leadership would be greatly appreciated. I know everyone time is important so if someone is willing to help me out and mentor me I will be willing to work for them for free or help them with and technology problem because I am really good with computers its actually what I do for the company I work for now in the IT department. 

Well I have about $3,000 ti invest in as of now. But I am just starting out and I will continue to save as I learn about the entire process of getting a FHA loan and what it takes to get tenants and how to screen them and basically everything that comes with getting a multi-family home.

Hello all my name is Justin Dixon I just recently turned 21 not too long ago and have a great job. Now with that all being said I would like to start investing in real estate, I have done my research and I have found that being 21 is a great age to start investing because I don't have much to lose due to that fact that I'm only 21 the worst thing that could happen if things don't go my way is I sell my xbox and move back in with my parents. Which are two things I'm perfectly ok with. So with that out of the way I was wondering what would be the best way for me to start investing in real estate? I tried doing a rent to buy at my current condo but the lady who owns it won't even talk to me since the management of the property is through another 3rd person party. But I was hoping to do a rent to buy on my place and once I moved out continue to rent it for some passive income. But since I can't do that I was wondering what would be a good start for me to start investing? I have heard about wholesaling, as well as getting a multi-family home and living in one side of it and renting out the other (i believe this is called house hacking?). Also fix and flips but I do realize that would require a good bit of capital. But my goal is to buy/hold proprieties to create some passion income as well as doing fix and flips. So anyone with some advice in helping me start out would be great! Thanks All!

Thanks I was really thinking about doing that myself I have read many stories own multi-family homes where 1 side is the renter and the other side you the owner live on basically for free because the renter is basically paying down your mortgage. I was also told to start in wholesaling but I am way more interested in what you recommended instead I would like to connect with you so we can discuss this a little more!

That would be great I am actually am located in the Raleigh area but I am willing to travel to the Charlotte area for some advice or just some overall knowledge about real estate. 

Hello all,

I just turned 21 and I now want to start investing in real estate, so as of now I am looking for mentors or just so advice. I do still go to college online but I also work for a company called Gtech who are partners with the NC lottery (No I don't know the winning numbers lol) but this job is great it allows me to work full time as well as to continue to do what I want. I have already shadow a real estate developer and it was great but I know to just straight into something like that would require a lot of capital! The lady I shadowed had land pasted to down to her from her father (over 2,000 acres of land I believe maybe more) so she was able to jump right into it. Whereas I am not at the point just yet. So if anyone of you guys have any advice or know any mentors that would like to take on a young hard working kid it would all be greatly appreciated.
