They know they ins and outs of their property, and you bad-mouthing the property isn’t going to going to endear you to the seller.

Good move, or bad? 

Many others on here have said the same thing, but at your age i'd focus on career.

It is awesome that you are getting started early in your career. $220,000 is definitely a lower purchase price amount and really limits you on what you can buy.

I've had a long career in community development and have a lot of bank contacts that would likely be interested in investing, but I'd need to prove the concept first with an initial fund (there are also a lot of other community development tools that could be leveraged to maximize and scale this).

My name is Jaedon Carlisle.I am a new investor looking for 4-plexes and small commerical units.I currently reside in Redding as well and I would be very interested in meetups or any existing groups.As mentioned above, I have noticed very little inventory and the inventory that exists seems to be very expesnive relative to what I believe constitutes a good deal (at least in my inexperienced view).I am 26 and looking to make this my career.

Quote from @Jay Fayz: Hello everyone,I've recently been exploring real estate as a potential career path and I'm looking for advice on the best entry-level job to gain experience and knowledge.

The success of that venture set the foundation for my career in real estate.

I wasn’t looking to add value or find something off-market because the time and effort just didn’t seem worth it compared to focusing on my career.

I’m currently in the save all of money phase, I want a couple years of solid savings and some education before I get started, I’m 33 and have been working construction my whole life so this will be a much different career path for me.
