Thank you, yeah I really need to surround myself more and starve my distractions. :)

@Bradley Padula

Thanks for the advice will do. And I didn’t disagree with Dennis I just don’t like how he came off.

@Dennis Wayne

Look Dennis, my apologies for my diction that may have seemed literal to you. I’m aware my age or sense of being new to the game may have played a factor in your mind but I am in tune with reality. Yes I like to take almost any advice that’s beneficial thanks for the recommendation.

@Dennis Wayne

Okay thanks for the book recommendation. Im not in a delusional fantasy. I’m asking for thoughts and advice. Not an opinion from your ***.

@Caleb Brown

Okay thanks. Yeah I’m currently wholesaling to bring in some cash.

So I’m 18 and I plan to move out some time within June or July this year.

I plan to move Into a multi family place maybe tri or quadplex. And rent out the rest to pay for everything (as much as I can).

I plan to use none of my own money. I’ve read somewhere that I can get a loan or something to purchase the place but I have to live there for at least a year (perfect for my situation) but I don’t remember what it’s called.

Do y’all have any advice, tips, tricks, or ideas to help me accomplish this goal. Of course I’m researching into it. I want to get y’all’s thoughts and views. Anything helps!

You never know what you don’t know

@Raimel Diaz

Smart I will keep this in mind when I get into rentals thanks! :)

@Jill F.

Yeah I did, for sure was a scam!

What websites do you use to check?

I also asked him how come nothing matched and he said his secretary had all his accounts. Then over the phone told me that every payment was getting declined so his secretary made new emails on new accounts. (One of the accounts had a pic of some old lady). Not to mention his signal was terrible and kept dropping.

How do y’all collect rent from tenants?

Me and my family recently came across an ad that seem too good to be true. It was for a rental on Craigslist. 3bed 2.5 baths all bills paid except water with a security deposit of $700 and monthly payments of $800. It was a two story with a garage.

We thought it was good but there was red flags as we went through the process. He didn’t mention it was a self tour and so we were like okay. And just rolled with the flow. The ‘landlord’ said to leave the back door unlocked when we did a tour.

So everything looks good until we send the deposit. He told us to send it via. Cash app, Zelle, and PayPal. None of them went through I checked the bank and it was fine on their behalf. It seemed like a big scam first of all because his emails didn’t match his name or credentials. (I thought he was new so I just let it slide but didn’t move forward till I saw what my family thought).

We ended up not paying and decided to look elsewhere. I wanted to know what do you use to collect payments from y’all’s tenants via online? I also want to do rentals when I get enough capital to fund everything so any advice as well?
