First of all congratulations!! You are 20 years old and you own your on job!!! Now you want to get into Real Estate. There are so many different pathways you can take, all I can tell you is what I know, which is what I have done...so far. I started my Real Estate venture by house hacking. I have been doing this for the last 3 years and it has been great. It has given me some experience in creating rental contracts, how to find good tenants, how to deal with maintenance issues, and finding a good reliable handyman among other valuable experiences. Oh yeah, and cash flow! After 3 years of house hacking and a few books read under my belt. I want to expand and seek out another Real Estate strategy...BRRRRing!! So I am creating my team and "funneling" properties until I can find my very first one. It might take another week, it might take longer. So what am I saying with all this? ...keep moving forward, do not stay stagnant!!!
