Parents aren't supporting
Just to share, my parents don't support me with my ambitions to start real estate investing.
Anyone here with the same story? And what did you do about it?

At some point, a young adult must stop worrying about what his/her parents "support" and simply go live his/her life as he/she wishes.
What did I do when anyone was unsupportive about my REI plans? I ignored them and moved on with my life.
Unless you are financially dependent upon your parents to supply your living and investment expenses, don't worry about their agreement. Do your homework and study your field, make smart decisions, and work hard. They'll agree it was a good idea AFTER you prove to them that you can succeed at it.
Good luck.
