Hey everyone, I’m 25 and just getting seriously involved in real estate.
I currently work at a private capital firm and I'm trying to learn as much as I can from people who’ve been in the game for years. I’d really appreciate any advice you’d give someone at the beginning of their journey — things you wish you knew earlier, mindset shifts, or lessons that shaped your path.
Thanks in advance for sharing — I’m all ears.

This is a great place to start your journey.
If I were to start all over again, here is the advice I would give myself:
Narrow down your strategy to a few that you will think works, read books, listen to podcasts, and reach out to local investors currently working in your desired field.
With so many strategies out there it can be overwhelming, but a few good places to start are House hacking, and PML with flippers that you may know.
Finding a mentor to work with can also be a great avenue to take. I was fortunate enough to work for my dad who flipped homes for decades, and as a realtor I have had a few great mentors.
If you have any questions I am always here to help!
Hi. I really appreciate the thoughtful advice. Trying to connect with investors here in San Diego and possibly align with a property management angle. Definitely taking the mentor route seriously too. Thanks again

I would look to educate yourself and house hack. Make sure you have enough saved up in the event of a disaster but otherwise, but otherwise keep house hacking for as long as you can. You will be very pleased within 10 years
Yes, that actually seems to be the most feasible approach for now — especially when combined with property management. It makes the whole operation more sustainable and scalable?

Would be interesting to learn what it would take for the private capital firm you work for to give you a loan to kick off your real estate journey
Yes, I’m actually working on that — building good relationships with local banks and credit unions. Laying the groundwork step by step.

I’ve already joined a local REIA here in San Diego. Appreciate the tip
