As I celebrated my daughter's first birthday this past Saturday, it reminded me of why I have chosen to go on this path.

The photography could have been better and adding some color (like colorful flowers and plants) to the front yard would have helped your cause.

I’m determined to change that on or before my birthday which is about 5 months away.I’ll be doing my best to document my journey here to show what I’m learning and how it’s going along with asking questions and trying to connect with others who have been where I am now.

My mom found a stock certificate my mentor had given me on my third birthday.

Not to mention, the market nationwide for wholesaling is extremely tough because of the lack of inventory, cost of materials and competitive seller's market.At your age, the best thing to do is find a real estate agent who needs part-time help, maybe photographing properties, maybe delivering paperwork, whatever it takes for that person to take you under his or her wing and share real-world experience in real estate.Save up as much as you can between now and your 18th birthday and the minute you can be a primary borrower, find a house to buy, the biggest in the best neighborhood a bank will prequalify you for.

I replaced old windows, added new insulation and drywall, spruced up outside of home, planted flowers and plants, replaced inner doors, power washed exterior, put kool sealant on roof, purchased window AC, added baseboard heating, and painted interior.

Maybe offer to add shutters or flower beds to help add color to the front elevation.

The most luck I've had with finding those diamonds in the rough, is going down to the courthouse and pulling files, and asking questions to anyone and everyone that plays any part in the real estate market where you're involved, who don't  manage to make it to their car before being caught after you've sprinted through the azaleas in the flower bed at the bank.
