After my first investment, it gets cloudy on what I want to do, it all seems great to get into, from wholesaling, to buy and hold, SF to Multi, I know that I will find a niche and strategy eventually but as a youngster finding out that there is so many paths to this, it can get overwhelming. 

Don't worry youngsters, there are dealers in RE in their 50's and 60' that still don't get it.

My dad taught me as a youngster that you can get ahead in life if you're able to play with other people's money but to do so you have to prove you're more of an asset than a liability.

Sean,As a youngster one year out of college, I am buying my first duplex (owner occupier) and plan to close in the next two weeks.  

@Bill Gulley - should we report this youngster?

I think the beaureaus are recognizing that homeownership is at a 20-year low and most young people are renting...not just because of credit issues....a ton of the youngsters prefer to rent and stay mobile or they watched their parents go through foreclosure and want no part of homeownership.  

(to a point, but if there is a youngster who never had the opportunity to "do" and claims they did.....well, think about it!)

Goals include making 1 buy-and-hold purchase each year.Leave the flipping to the youngsters with time on their hands :)

I see youngsters doing wholesaling but in my research it seems like its not adviseable to get into it without tons of contacts.

The youngsters are all doing well and paying on time and I’m helping them learn how to be good adults which is nice.
