Hi Zoe, welcome good for you to start early, time is the most important ingredient with investing.

I started researching and then bought in 2021-2022 then paused to stabilize and get a better lay of the land.

I'm a rookie in whole selling , I only have the knowledge that social media has and I think I understand how it works but have no idea of where to start or how its pretty frustrating not being able to provide for my family the way I want to and I could really use some advice or maybe tutoring in this subject, I just turned 20 and I want to have a good life in this economy I could really use any advice thank you so much.

I'd start shopping around for terms and building relationships sooner than later.

@Sean DillonAt 18, you're in a prime position to start building wealth with low expenses and plenty of time to scale.

Starting all over from scratch... my gray hair is turning back black....LOL.   

If the rental lease started 1/1/2025 it's likely it was technically in service in 2024. 

If structured well, this can be a great way to get started without much cash.

@Christian Artuso welcome to the forums and on starting your real estate investing journey.
