I will be making $55-$60/h by the time I’m certified at 21/22.I am also looking into side hustles to increase my income such as flipping cars, reselling etc.As of right now I have around 8k saved, and 5k invested in stocks.Obviously I cannot buy a property with just a few grand right now, but basically I just want to ask for any advice or tips you would give to me or your younger self when you started.I usually listen to audio books on personal finance and business while working instead of music to further my knowledge.Any sort of advice is welcome, books, podcasts, methods to learn about.

I would like to start close to home as I plan to self manage the rental side of it.

As a self-employed 1099 individual, your best route is most likely DSCR.

We partner with Tenant Turner and allow self showings without the hassle of trying to schedule with an agent.

Actually more becuase now you are self-employed and have all of those pesky overhead costs.

As a young self-managing landlord, I feel like it makes collecting rent look and feel more "official" so I am taken seriously... and my tenant set up autopay (score!)
