For this reason, we have started a collaborative spreadsheet for all to access and contribute. 

I am hoping to meet great people and form meaningful friendships in my thousand miles journey!

Whenever you have a W-2 job that offers a 401(k) plan that matches contributions, max that out.

Keep expanding your network, one thing about your generation that can be irksome is the stereotype (whether deserved or not) of thinking that yelp/insert website can replace the kind of quality referrals that come from meaningful personal connections.

Multifamily real estate is extremely appealing to me given my background in engineering and business development along with the opportunity to learn a new space and eventually generate meaningful cash flow. 

In terms of structuring, an issue that has come up is how do we handle the transition from holding one property to holding several, especially if the members of this business have varying levels of capital to contribute at different times. 

That is the very definition of "highest and best use" and will make a lot of folks $$ while also contributing 8 affordable units to the city of Chicago.

You may not even need much money down with a FHA, VA, USDA loan and a seller contribution addendum.

I know wholesalers don’t have the best reputation, but I’m willing to out work that stigma and create meaningful relationships.

UNLESS you develop honest, meaningful relationships with people and prove to them what you are capable of and what your plan is through and through.
