Meet other investors, learn market trends, start to build a team and keep absorbing knowledge.

(No kids, excessive debt, responsibilities that come with age, etc.)By the time you reach 21 onward your experience level will be that of a budding pro when others may not even have begun which would be incredible for you and would carry a lot of momentum.My biggest advice in the wholesaling world would be find someone who is doing it and doing it well, ask them to bring you on for free or very minimal pay and absorb all of the knowledge in return for time and effort.

then you'll start to take the properties that have debt on them and sell and 1031 into DSTs (Delaware Statutory Trusts) where the debt that is absorbed is non-recourse to you.   

Patience, persistence, and a readiness to absorb lessons from both triumphs and disappointments are necessary for real estate investment.

And can you absorb another $10,000 when you mistakenly allow a bad renter in and they trash the place? 

Or there may already be an assumption of debt component (It's generally non-recourse) as you'd see in a DST.A second option would be to use a zero coupon DST to absorb the debt in your 1031 along with 18-20% of your proceeds. 

To caveat this, make sure you have strong conviction on the rent, and your ability to absorb potential rental drops.Let me know if you have any questions.

I have a TON of questions and info to absorb so be ready BP'ers!

The advantage at least of this approach is that I could walk away, and although I'd lose my 5% deposit, that would likely be cheaper than being involved in a  long drawn out legal process as I continue to absorb holding costs (taxes/insurance/maintenance, etc.).

Begin modestly, take measured chances, and absorb failures as well as victories.
