I’m 17 years old looking to get into real estate. If you could go back to my age , what would you do differently?

@Dajuan Wortham I would be very intentional about my personal finances. Be very careful with consumer debt. I bought my first house at 19 and actually rented a room to a family member long before I knew what house hacking was. When I wanted to purchase my next property I couldn't keep my first and rent it out due to debt to income ratios. If I was your age again I would do my best to structure my personal finances so that I could hold most every property I ever purchased. It's awesome your already thinking about REI!!
