And twenty years later, I can tell you definitively that a lot of guys who worked and worked constantly to do well in their careers for their early years routinely end up running for all they're worth on the hamster wheel of debt and credit, saddled with a wife who can barely stand them and couldn't run a family's finances to save her life.The incredibly stupid things I've heard some of some of my old acquaintances (and family members) doing in marriage sicken me.

I plan on a twenty percent down payment and financing the rest.

There's a situation that was presented to me about twenty minutes ago that has left me searching for quality solutions.

These guys had maybe one or two steady thoroughly vanilla girlfriends from their teenage years to their early twenties and a very few hookups (maybe a friend with benefits) along the way.

Ironically, it can be difficult to obtain loans for a property as an agent because lenders are leery of the self-employed with commission income, however, if you finish college, get a good W2 job, and have decent credit, lenders will line up to give you money, assuming that you are going into a field that is in demand.I admire you wanting to start investing at a young age, I wish I would have started investing in real estate in my early twenties instead of misspending my youth on debauchery.

I have had nothing but lies the past twenty days.
