But its still work you still have to deal with tenants turn overs ... other things like that.. the most passive I see with folks that have some serious liquidity already IE been high w2 folks is notes.. those can be truly passive done right.. for the big hits  land development in path of progress is killer but risk/reward is the mantra there.2018 for us should be a nice year  probably close to 30 million in new home sales a few larger tracts bought and either flipped to lennar or Horton 150 to 200 lot tracks.. and our note business is in full maturity.. and it only took me 40 years to do all this... so all you youngsters out there have some patience.. 10 to 20k is nice but its not retirement when you start really living the investor life.. at least for me.

Not many youngsters on here.College is a waste of time if you have entrepreneur in you.

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.

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 started young as well and it seems youngsters are willing to take more risks.

Often, it's age related due to perceived experience, just a fact of life and the youngsters finding themselves wanting to be taken seriously (often prematurely).Go to the local SBA office, there are non-profits that provide detailed assistance to new business owners.
