Advice for Young Investor

[Antonios Kranidis]

Hey BP Forums! 

My name is Anthony, I am 19 years old living in southwestern Ontario. I am really eager to get into real estate investing and specifically small multi family properties. I find myself gaining lots of knowledge in the space through reading books and of course listening to the BP podcast! However, I feel as though I have hit a roadblock as to what my next action steps should be. I’m not sure whether I should keep trying to grow my knowledge, trying to find deals, networking? If anyone would be willing to weigh in their thoughts I would love to hear what you have to say! In other words, what advice might you give your 19 year old self!

Welcome to the BiggerPockets community! 

No matter where you stand in your real estate investing journey, BiggerPockets is the ultimate resource for all of your investing needs. I’d suggest starting out by networking with as many other investors as possible and be an active participant in the forums.

If you haven’t already subscribed to the BiggerPockets podcasts, do that ASAP. Look for meet ups in your area (virtual), attend free webinars, start reading as much as possible on any and all topics related to investing and real estate. Use the forums to help you search for the answers to all of your questions. If you can’t find your answers, then create your own post! 

At your age, house hacking is a great strategy to get your foot in the door. Feel free to DM me with any questions, I'd be happy to help give you some tips on moving forward!

Good luck and get educated!
