19 Year Old Looking to Get Started
Hello everyone, I am a rising sophomore at the University of South Carolina, and I want to get my first property before the school year ends. I have been intrigued by investing since I was 14, and as I have grown older I have realized that real estate investing was the field I wanted to enter. For about a year now, I have been researching real estate. I started going to REIAs about 7 months ago, and have been building a network since then. While I have been home for the summer, I have been interning and mentoring with a veyr successful wholesaler/investor who I met with at one of the REIAs I attended. At this point, I have learned a lot and have had great hands on experience and opportunities. With the momentum I have built over the last year, I do not want to stay stagnant. For me, the next logical move seems to be to start my own business.
I am starting a wholesaling business in an effort to raise capital, get my own experience with starting a business, learn, find deals, and to get started with a long and fruitful career in real estate. I dont want to stay primarily wholesaling properties, and I plan on using wholesaling to expand into flips and rentals. My biggest goal is to acquire my first rental property and house hack it for my Junior year of school. I know it will be challenging to do all of this while a student, but I also believe that now is the best time to get started.
I have about 10k saved up in cash, stocks, and crypto, and I also plan on getting a job serving or catering while I am at school. I would greatly appreciate any advice or knowledge yall would be willing to share. Also, if there are any investors or agents in Columbia, I would love to have a chat!
