New, Young Investor, Advice? (23)

[Account Closed]

Reader,

I’m Austin, 23 years old based in the Wichita, Kansas area. I am a college graduate with degrees in Economics/Finance and Management. I’m currently pursuing my real estate license, and should have it within the next 3 weeks. Not pursuing my license out of want to be a realtor, but to be taken serious when talking to other investors, realtors, and brokers.

I have a strong desire to enter into multi-family investments, and am currently looking at finding the best strategy at entering the real estate investing world with limited capital and being fresh out of college. I would love to find a mentor to learn the business, and learn the best strategies to begin the process in this business. I have a strong entrepreneurial spirit, with desire to learn and grow daily.

Any advice or direction would be incredibly valuable to me regarding possible entry strategies from people who have been there, done that. I would love to connect with anyone willing to help a driven and personable young investor.

Thank you so much for any thoughts. I look forward to connecting!

-Austin

Hey Austin,

Welcome to BP! I agree with a lot of what @Scott Mac mentioned. Also, I would recommend meeting as many people in the real estate community as possible. There are several really great meetups in town. In fact, there is one tonight at the Wichita Boathouse downtown that will be from 530 to about 730pm. If you can make it, you should come!
