What did you all do before you started investing? What jobs did you have so you could raise the funds for a downpayment and such. I am 15, i want to own rental properties and am wondering what i could do to raise the funds.

@John Moorhouse

I was a janitor with horrible pay. I was allowed to live with my family members for free and stack my money to buy my first house which is what ignited my real estate business. 

Instead of going and looking for more money. Ask yourself, is it easier just to make a sacrifice ? 

Many times, just a simple sacrifice can be bigger than going out and trying to make more money from a job.
