How do I use (young) age as an advantage in Wholesaling

[Paul Harris]

I'm thinking my best path to getting enough money to put a down payment on my first property while simultaneously learning my local market is to start with wholesaling. I'm also 19 years old - does anyone that's young, looks young, or started when they were young have any tips or advice for someone like myself getting started in this game? I anticipate this to be my biggest challenge which is why I've asked this in my first BP forum post.

I would find a mentor and gain as much as you can from then.  That will help you not make the same mistakes they made and accelerate your growth immensely.  After you think you have learned enough, then you will have the confidence to go off on your own.

As an investor, I can feel the lack of confidence and I don't know any 19 year olds with no real estate experience having the confidence to quickly close a deal!
