Hi everyone,My name is Charlie Lilly, and I am a 25-year-old business graduate from Saint Mary's University.

What I would rather hear, is how you personally raised the capital and got the systems in place to own/manage/finance 100+ units with a maximum of 9 years experience (assuming you started at 18) or less if you went to college (and graduated at 22), then it'd be 5 years.

I am a 2012 graduate and interested in buying more as soon as I can find properties within my criteria.

After graduation college I set a goal for myself to get into real estate preferably by acquiring a multi-family unit or single family with the intent to turn it into a rental.

I have not yet invested in real estate though I am a graduate student and will be graduating next May and hope to jump into it as soon as I know where I will be living (due to my full time job options).I am analyzing properties using the BP Rental Analyzer and have a recurring question.  

Get an OO property and then you can graduate to an investment property.

The trend was always that people did not want to get a better job, a college degree and career or simply make more money bc the section 8 managers would adjust the price… It was the dumbest decision that you could make: stay in a low paying job or choose to not make more money because you would have to pay more in rent or leave the projects all together…  The year I graduated from CSUN I landed a teaching job and was “forced” to leave and go rent on my own (and went from $300 per month to $1200 per month) which was a huge jump for me… That forced me to need to make more money, to seek out better paying jobs and to have the motivation to do better and grow.

I've lived in Iowa City since graduating from SIU Carbondale.  

I graduated from a Maritime Academy with a 3rd Mate’s License and I am now working for a shipping company.

I am currently house hacking a Single Family Home in Sandy, Utah (Room Rental Model) but, I want to invest in Multi-Family properties after I graduate in the Spring 2024.
