I won't quit, I will not give up, I will make investing my full time career, and I will one day help others achieve their goals!

@Johnnie Thomsen - Welcome to BP Johnnie,What is going to be your next actionable step to achieving your goals?

One thing you can do is see what other investors are doing in your area to achieve success.

I am raymond Fianu, a college student who wants to achieve greater wealth in real estate investing

Ask yourself what would you trade to achieve your dreams? 

There is an optimism here that is not entirely pie in the sky, but you have be ready to face a lot of complications in this game.Just this month alone:  mortgage criteria for rehab loans, lots of paperwork, special inspectors, bank appraisals that come in differently than expected, stalled market conditions throwing off sale predictions, financial scrutiny.

One of them was a triplex.Good Luck it is very possible to achieve if you stay focused and determined. 

These metrics are getting harder and harder to achieve but they are out there if you dig.  

Taking action is the key and the first one is always hard as you second guess yourself.Do you know what you want to achieve? 

I am not saying do not do it, nobody ever achieved anything by not doing anything, but at the same time if you only have 10-15k that you absolutely cannot afford to lose then you may be better off with a different strategy, maybe use that money as down payment on a duplex or three flat possibly.
