I used to live in Hawaii , and the entry barrier is just high.

Your dedication to real estate, both as an agent and in your personal investments, is inspiring.We're all here to support each other on our financial journeys, and it sounds like you have a lot of exciting ventures ahead.Best of luck! 

Personally, I would save up some more cash and wait for a time with better deals. 

There are so many information on loans. Im new to investing and are looking to understand what the type of loans are available to buy rental property (single, multi family home etc). Is there a cheat sheet available? 

@Tyler Ferguson It will be a little easier for your taxes and finances if you create a separate account for all of the property's income and expenses including the personal and rental part.

People will rightfully assume that you cannot know as much as an older person, you just cannot have that much experience.The best way to gain people's trust is to do a couple deals and get happy satisfied clients who will use you again and refer you to others ......I don't see a shortcut here.Or else you have to have the deal of the century.   .people will sometimes sacrifice their comfort level when there is money to be made..Good for you though for starting so early, just hang in there and don't give up...

I guess the person with all the money at risk deserves quite a bit.

I deeply appreciate any guidance, suggestions, or personal experiences you can share.

And if you're up for being even more personal, you can target people by door knocking.

I personally own and host 14+ high performing short term rentals.
