I would recommend find a mentor, someone who is today where you want to be in ten - twenty years from now, and learn from them.

I am a twenty one year old soon to be real estate investor.

They've had it for over twenty years and have just kind of muddled their way through with the help of a shady accountant, who let them "keep more of their money".Recently they tried to use their investment property to secure funding for another project and were denied by the bank as the property shows zero income "on paper". 

I also want to tell her that I paid more in federal income tax than her and her loser boyfriend COMBINED in response to her very specific insult and that her little insult just makes me laugh because she is too dumb to understand just how much of a loser she is and that I paid cash for that house when I was in my mid twenties and it's one of MANY I own and rent out. 

But don't worry, you'll probably only have to deal with your partner until you sell the building in five or ten or twenty years...why did Attica just pop into my head?

My family came to US from India twenty some yrs ago, and for sure we didn't come to the land of opportunity to sit on our a** and sip wine.

I am twenty-nine years old and have had successful exits with two companies.

I worked in Canberra several times in the past twenty years and really liked it.

I have been a real estate broker here in NH for nearly twenty years and wished I had focused more efforts on investing in real estate vs. all sales.

I bought my first property in my twenties, fixed it up a bit, made a good profit selling it and I was hooked from there.
