When I was a youngster my parents bought some homes from auction and rehabbed them. 

I have been genuinely interested in real estate investing since I was a youngster but my life circumstances(some out of my control and some, not so much) never afforded me the opportunity to make the jump. 

I've read other stories of youngsters who purchased a property to rent out, but they aren't $552,000!

@Ryan Dao It feels like every time I come on BP I see more and more youngsters trying to get into the business.

Your tenants will be the youngsters and their child.

You should definitely go... as long as you'll take action with what you learn.Always good to see youngsters focused on wealth building!

I’ve learned that housemates in their 30s tend to do better with this than the youngsters :)I don’t think ADUs are a thing here in Brooklyn.

I see many youngsters like yourself doing it, and doing well.
