Just to introduce myself...I am a military daughter, wife and mother, having seen my father off to multiple wars, my husband off to Desert Storm and, twenty years later, my younger son off to Iraq.

If you need well-connected agents who are also successful investors, look at @Melissa Haworth and/or @Matt 'Roar' Gardner

First, I would like to preface my response in saying I commend you for having this discussion with yourself, and others, in your twenties. 

It won’t likely result in losing the property but could easily chew ten to twenty grand out of my savings.

Twenty days in and got a referral for first wholesale deal. 

Many investors would rather have one 40 unit property that cash flows $6000 per month than twenty separate properties that cash flow the same.There are lots of strategies to make a profit in real estate and SFR and apartments are both excellent.

I'm twenty-one years old currently serving. 

Many a divorce, bankruptcy, and heart attack have been attributed to the stress that people feel around money that could have easily been avoided.Your twenties are a mixed bag full of fun experiences and new opportunities for growth.

You keep it and maybe it will double in value in ten to twenty years, instead of buying 10 Houses over 10 years and then fixing up the worst 5 to Sell and have a Million Dollars worth of property that is paying for itself. 

I think the newest episode on BP Podcast with Devin McLish - think its really great episode that speaks to some of the basics of wholesaling. https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2016/06/23/bp-podcast-180-58-deals-age-twenty-three-devan-mcclish/
