Hello,

Ive been doing some research on tax Lein and I want to get started but still want to get as much information as possible. What are your thoughts on it? Pros? Cons? 

Also where can I find an online auction for these. I keep looking but I can't seem to find one or one that is legit at lease. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thank you everyone! I am really soaking up all this information

@Shiloh Lundahl Thank you that really was encouraging to know that I am not completely in the dark when it come to my debt. And yes I have already started reaching out to intern for people and help them out so I can get the knowledge. I will definitely do better at handling the debt so it doesn't get bad

What do you mean an overrated concept? Like in the sense that its not the only way to go with using money for houses? Originally posted by @Jody Newman:

If a 21 yr old showed me a debt laden balance sheet id say   POLITELY go find another person to joint venture with.

Invest other peoples money is an overrated concept.  

Thank you all for the advice! So are you guys saying that going to college for this was a waste of time and money? I mean I came to college to get the knowledge needed but if school debt is the reason why I can’t succeed in this field was it worth it? Did anybody go to college for this? I have been reading a lot and the coming story like is I had nothing and didn’t go to college. So I’m wondering if I made the right choice in going to school

Hello everyone,

So I invested in my first stock. It was nothing big but it was a big step for me because this was the beginning for me. I want to invest in real estate and want to make this my career but I read more and more on this website and I see professionals say get rid of all school debt before you start investing in real estate and I feel like if I do that I will never start. My debt is looking at 40k+ right now and I still have a year of college left. So I guess my question is, what can I do to get into real estate without paying off my debt first? I want to start getting into real estate now while I’m still in college but I don’t know where to look. Do I need my real estate license to start? Can I invent without getting my license? Are there internships that help young people like me get into the business? 

Thank you so much! I will definitely look into this

Stephanie J. Valme I recommend that you get your real estate license and find a brokerage to work for, most of them have real estate training programs at the brokerage, also you will have to take some courses and a test to get your license. Overall, it's a win win situation, you will get experience and you will learn a lot about real estate with this.

I am looking to invest yes. Thank you so much for the advice!

Welcome to BP! 

First Decide your goals. Do you want to invest? If, so look into mass housing or FHA for owner occupied- You can invest with 3.5% or 5% down--- Understand what areas you want to invest in. Take it daily, one day at a time.... And reverse engineer your goals

That would be great! Originally posted by @Charlie MacPherson:

@Stephanie J. Valme Welcome to BP!  I do quite a bit of business in Brockton and the surrounding area and I'd be happy to get together for a coffee and a chat.

Hello my name is Stephanie Valme and I am currently 21 years old and attend the University of Massachusetts  Dartmouth. I am in my 3rd year of college and I am starting to narrow down on careers I want to pursue in my future. Real Estate has been my real focus right now but I need help. I need to know how to start. I want to know everything about the business and investing in it but like I said I'm 21 years old and have no experience in the field. So I guess my main question is where can I get started and who can I talk to about getting internships, experience, and knowledge in the real estate business. I am young motivated and willing to learn any and everything!
