"Bad" debt is using your card to buy sneakers or something.

Long story short, I've been reselling sneakers as a hobby for a couple years now, and realized that no matter what I decided to do with my life, I knew real estate investing was the end goal.

I have $40k cash saved mostly from reselling sneakers and other items,I have 2 part time jobs currently and a good credit score with about $5k in cc debt.Is there any way i'm able to buy properties since I don't have enough years for w-2 (Started working both jobs this year).

Step 1: Switch to sandals, or sneakers if you're not a Birkenstock kind of guy like me.Step 2: Accumulate money. 2nd job, sell stuff, cut spending to the bone.Step 3: House hack.

Might be a big fish, might be an old sneaker!

And finally, to trade in this suit I have been wearing daily for 27 years (yes approximately 7,000 days) for a pair of shorts, Investing advertisement T-shirt, and a pair of sneakers or Flip-Flops!
