That’s how I got started—with little to no money out of pocket.

Hi Zoe, welcome good for you to start early, time is the most important ingredient with investing.

I'd start shopping around for terms and building relationships sooner than later. 

I'm a rookie in whole selling , I only have the knowledge that social media has and I think I understand how it works but have no idea of where to start or how its pretty frustrating not being able to provide for my family the way I want to and I could really use some advice or maybe tutoring in this subject, I just turned 20 and I want to have a good life in this economy I could really use any advice thank you so much.

House hacking is the BEST way to get started in real estate investing!

Here they all start with "Are you aware of any XYC.." and none of them are asking about previous repairs or issues.I understand that you are concerned, but honestly, if the water damage was resolved, the soaked parts replaced, why would it matter any longer? 

@Sean DillonAt 18, you're in a prime position to start building wealth with low expenses and plenty of time to scale.

If the rental lease started 1/1/2025 it's likely it was technically in service in 2024. 

Starting all over from scratch... my gray hair is turning back black....LOL.
