My name is Chance Nelson, I am 18 years old. I realize I want to be very rich at a young age. Instead of buying a yacht when I'm 40 I want it when I'm 25. I want to enjoy my life when I'm young with money. This is why I joined the bigger pockets community. Since I have little knowledge in the business world I am looking for people to follow and learn from. Please message me I'd love to talk with anyone. Thank you
Welcome to Bigger Pockets. BP is full of resources. You will find resources here from blogs to pod casts and forums. You can also send messages to members which is my favorite part of the website.

Welcome. That's great you're so young looking to invest! I'm from SoCal as well (Thousand Oaks area). Just remember, real estate is a long term game. It's not a get rich overnight game. Anyone who is telling you it is is probably trying to sell you something! ;-)
Good luck and feel free to message me with any questions.
