Best of luck with the listing @Matthew Rich ! 

Hey Peter - I am 23 myself, and the first thing that motivated me was Rich Dad Poor Dad. 

I like the camaraderie, folks help each other with issues that arise.It is my anecdotal observation that in some groups, folks mostly invest with the main character, who gets rich(er) and the folks make some money. 

You have to actually go out there and find real deals, do the work to force equity, and only then do you get a bit of cash flow that eventually becomes significant years later.But that's not a get-rich-quick strategy so most folks won't do it.

A wise investor will not try to get rich quick with shortcuts.

I also recommend you stop chasing the "get rich quick" schemes you'll find on YouTube or in books written within the last five years.

A big part of this was the belief that there simply wasn't any way out of the situation I was in except maybe a very narrow educational out to the middle class.The first rule of life for me was to HAVE RICH PARENTS.

You can't count on believing that the family member will not produce a handwritten lease (real or not), or other paperwork & tactics, to throw a big old wrench in your initial/expected timeline.You CAN expect that if they see you as the big old rich/developer/bad guy enemy, they will do as much damage as they can, and drag their feet as long as possible.See if you can feel out what the relative actually wants/ needs, connect/come prepared with info on resources for local "housing help" options, etc (perhaps), and figure out what you can do to solve the problem (cash for keys with an incentive for quicker move out timeframe?
