Would love to talk or chat with people here.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Everything I was being told sounded too good to be true and makes me wonder why most people aren't doing this.

My objective is to get enough passive income to eventually focus on investing and building myself as a business as my job/career instead of working for other people or companies.

Perhaps this issue is my lack of sourcing a lender that understands?

Well, regardless of experience, people are going to assume younger people are not as qualified, skilled or yes, even experienced (haha, I know it is goofy!).

I not only joined this site for the knowledge, but in hopes to find a community of like minded people that are interested in helping others to grow.

You will find some good feedback based on experience from people who have done it before.

It always intrigue me that people are willing to do house hacks without an ADU or an additional living unit.
