Then I'd start by saving up, so you can buy your own house and rent out rooms in the house (or buy a place with a suite).Talk to your parents about what their goals are with the properties, what they like and what they don't like.

Additionally, do you have any other ideas or strategies that might help achieve his goals without incurring a tax liability?

If you ever want to connect and go over your goals, I'd love to do so! 

If your goal is to grow faster, buying rent ready properties isn't the usual way to do that if you have limited funds to start with.

While I do not have an official W-2 currently, I do have a steady income, great credit, and have money saved as well from working since I was 13 years old.I relate to Ian Kay in his journey but also am very determined to make my goals/dreams a reality this year by July 2025.

I don't know the %, but I would still guess 90% washout or never hit their goals, but I do see some "graduate" and seem to do well long term. 

The multi family niche makes this goal possible.Keep pushing.

My ultimate goal would be to buy fixer-uppers to turn into long-term rentals.

I have been to RE meetups in the past with like-minded everyday investors pursuing similar goals, sharing stories and learning from each other, running through numbers, sharing network contacts, and even doing deals together.

What are your short term goals?
