Now I chose to invest in Memphis just because I liked the opportunity and I liked the city, plus it helped that I travel there for work lol I'm your same age and I own 1 property and I just put my second under contract right before Christmas.

I actually had an offer just after Christmas that we didn't come to terms (most probably would have jumped) but I held out and a couple weeks later went under contract at the number I stuck firm on with a new buyer.

Merry Christmas, Aaron

Not one sent me a Christmas card!

But the tenants we had in our old house pulled out with no warning a couple weekes before Christmas. 

Merry Christmas to all!!!!

Welcome Keela..my answer is simple..if you do what you say you're gonna do people will respect that...i started young, and still look like i'm 16 when i shave btw..some people looked at me funny at first, and some still do..but when someone needs to sell a property, and you're there to buy it and close, they'll respect it and come to you again, regardless of age..similary, if they see you building a reputable portfolio of rentals, or a successful flipping business, they'll repsect that as well..i do honestly think it's a bit tougher for a younger person to earn that respect, but you can make it a lot easier on yourself by following through with every little thing....return phone calls, christmas cards to attorneys, lenders, etc. thank you cards..whatever it is...good luck :)

Basically I am a 26 yr old civil engineering student who will graduate by Christmas and my girlfriend is a high school teacher.

Christmas Shopping ;)

At the very least, I was hoping to send my tree guy a Christmas card for the free $1300 tree removal, but I don't know his address.
