I don't come from money whatsoever, my entire family has had to work hard to maintain a comfortable lifestyle.

I feel that I'm becoming more & more book smart and am ready to start "cutting my teeth" in REI.My short-term (3-5 yrs) areas of interest are Fix 'n Flip and BRRRR while longer-term (5+ yrs) interests lie in commercial investing (syndication, apartment, and storage).

Personally, I think investing for appreciation with no consideration for cash flow whatsoever is not smart (vice versa as well).  

This time in your career as a new agent is getting your feet under you and cutting your teeth on the first couple of deals that come your way!

If I can't afford something, I save longer, or I don't need it.So yes, the lack of any credit history whatsoever is troubling, but credit cards are NOT the issue.Yes, there was a mismatched address, however it verified it to be an actual previous address.

Please PM me if you are interested in a partnership, a property manager, or if you have any questions whatsoever.

I had no real estate knowledge or experience whatsoever. 

A well-written contract that has actual teeth.

I bought my personal residence last year for a little over 400k and the same house in SoCal would have been at least 900k if not a $1 million.My whole point is that it may be beneficial to cut your teeth in a market where you can afford to invest rather than do nothing with your money for years on end playing the waiting game.

Then when he takes that class, he gets all pumped up about dentistry, but needs another class to learn the how to examine teeth.
