Maybe MTR is a better strategy for you because you will spend less on furnishings (affordable, durable, and no amenities) and have less tenancy.

Pergo is known for its durability and ease of installation, which could give you a clean finish and reduce maintenance costs in the long run.It's wise to consider all these factors as you make your decisions.

But if it does, you put whatever you can find thats the cheapest while being the most durable. 

That will help you "real-life" the knowledge from the books and learn how everyone's journey is different.You seem like you know the journey is long and your new day job is going to be a very important cog in that wheel.

I don't know about cheaper insurance (yet), but at the event I went to, they said that insurance companies were advised/required to NOT price them higher just because they were concrete homes as opposed to regular construction.I do think it's feasible that eventually they'd have lower premiums as they prove to be more durable/less risky.

Why recreate the wheel.

Your best investment is in yourself.Consider going to college or learning a trade.Use the funds to invest in something that does not require much time so you can focus on learning.If you do decide to get into real estate, you may want to consider doing a house-hack.It will give you a place to live(potentially saving you a few hundred dollars from paying rent and also giving you training wheels for being a landlord).

Like a veteran RE agent/broker you put in your 10 years and if you make it that far your going to get a lot of bizz just by referral without spending money constantly chasing the next deal.. wholesalers are constantly on the Hamster wheel..

No carpet, disposals, only put up curtain rods, hard flooring only, use durable materials, always have cabinet pulls

Consider targeting young professionals and small families who are looking for modern living spaces close to their workplaces and urban amenities.Property Analysis:Exterior and Structure:Materials: The exterior is clad in modern siding, likely a composite material or Hardie board, known for durability and low maintenance.
