In twelve to twenty-four months you can rent the room you were living in and repeat the process at a new house.

I’m twenty eight years old and have been an industrial electrician since I was eighteen and it’s good work but I’m looking to hopefully break away from this trade one day and be a full time real estate investor👍👍 I live in Paducah, KY.

Twenty-two years ago I decided to forego a 1BR over the Ballston Station and for a sliver more, picked up a 3BR TH in Reston.

21 year HVAC contractor here, at twenty years old the system was at it’s useful life, it definitely needs to be replaced.

The problem is that there is a tenant living in there who has been there for TWENTY YEARS and is only paying $550/mo rent.

When I say kids, I mean late teens, early twenties. 

I did the same thing twenty years ago and lost $80K, which I made up on the next two deals. 

I've had cases where a friend was willing to lend ten thousand but not twenty thousand.

But my choices inside that retirement account are about twenty different options, none of which I would invest in if it was outside a controlled account.  

In that amount of time, if you aggressively built your portfolio you could look to have twenty or more properties.Yes, that would be a full-time job, but on your schedule, doing work when it fits your needs.
