I'm a first-time homebuyer looking to start my real estate investing journey and would appreciate some advice.

While I do not have an official W-2 currently, I do have a steady income, great credit, and have money saved as well from working since I was 13 years old.I relate to Ian Kay in his journey but also am very determined to make my goals/dreams a reality this year by July 2025.

Wishing you the best with your exam and your journey ahead.

I have no doubt you’ll continue to achieve great success in your investment journey.

It’s awesome that you’re starting your journey into rental properties.Wishing you the best as you learn and grow.

Quote from @Chris Lin: BackgroundI started my journey with REI Nation (formerly Memphis Invest) in 2019.

Other introverts will feel comfortable with you and that could actually help your journey......more important qualities are honesty, integrity and being a harder worker than others.Just be yourself and go get started.

@Michael Klick Congrats on getting things moving in your investing journey.
