I am new to forums, at I on the right track?

Question

Im 23, single, just moved out my mothers house for the first on my own and learned about BP. I’m currently saving up at my warehouse job. Staying on top of bills, building credit. I learned so much these past few days about financial education. I bought an BP book, “How to invest in real estate”. I read it everyday, when I’m at work on break or spare time I read the ebook on my phone. I read over where I left off, so when I’m home I’m reading over what I read when I was out that day at work. Seeing it twice is helping. But am I taking the right moves in order to be successful in real estate? Consistently. I know it’s a process. You got to start from the seed, to get to the root, to get to the fruit. Can’t plant the seed one day and expect to eat the fruit the next day. Thank you. I’m fairly new. So any experienced investors please comment your stories how you got into real estate, and how it changed your life.

Congrats on starting your journey! And congrats on moving out!

However, as @Frank Geiger mentioned, living with your mom (if your rent is low/free) might even be a big help in your financial journey allowing you to save up even more money! Granted, most of us don't want to live with our mom! More advice includes...

1) Listen to the BP podcasts if you haven't already, they are FANTASTIC!

2) See if there are any local meetups in your area! At the top of your screen, click "Network" and then "Events" to search. You can also search on google. Going to these meetups might be uncomfortable for you at first, especially as a new investor, but will allow you to learn so much and meet people who are successful.

3) Be an overall supportive and contributing member of the community! Everyone likes a "good dude". And you contributing or asking questions will show you want to learn or add value and people appreciate that!

Yup you are on track. When you start, all you can do is read/educate a ton and stock pile cash for when you're ready to buy that first property. Ultimate house hack is to move back in when your mother haha.

@Frank Geiger I would definitely move back in right about now hah. But I always wanted my privacy. Thank you so much for being active on my forum.

@Eugene M. Yes, I found out I could save money after I moved out my mothers house and got out on my own. It was just a goal I had for myself because I loved my privacy... when I did it, I realized I rather collect the rent then pay the rent. I then seen Rich Dad Poor Dad Robert Kiyosaki . I hope to see you around on the forums.
