18 Year Old Investor

Hello BP Community, I am an 18 y/o in the Metro Detroit Area. I have about 5k that I can put towards a potential investment, although I cannot provide 2 years of income to a bank for a mortgage. I've done a lot of research and due diligence and have a pretty good idea of the business. I am also a licensed realtor, and I'm very eager to get into REI. I do not know anyone who can co-sign on a mortgage with me either. Please BP Community provide any advice as I'd love to chat.

Hey, Carson

Way to get going, it seems like you are on a solid path. Private money can be challenging to get without the correct information. You probably already have a presentation to sponsor your deal. I’m not in the Detroit area, but if you don’t find someone to co sign, go offer a wholesale on BP and still profit off finding the deal. After you’ve got a track record you can go directly to private money and get started on bigger stuff. Good luck the on the deal,

Best,

Josiah
