I know somewhat mentioned my issue in another thread, but I would like to have a dedicated thread so I won't take over the others.

Like previously stated I am 20 years old and I live with my parents in Knoxville, Tn. I have a job a Dollar General that as of tomorrow the minimum wage goes up to $7.25/hr. I don't make much and I will also be going to college. I stated these things to give you an idea of my background if that happens to influence your comments.

Bottom line is that I want to get into real estate, but I don't have the money and as of right now I don't have the knowledge. My question is what would be the best route to take?

I am speculated getting someone to invest in the property and let me take care of the rest. When the deal is done and I eventually sell the property I would share the profit 50/50. This is might be the solution to the money side. I would like to know if you have a better solution.

As for the property, I am not sure what I should buy. I heard that renting a property takes a lot of time and if that is the case I don't think that would be for me at this moment since I will already be juggling school and work.

An idea that I though of would be to find a REO, possibly fix it up and resell it. I do not know if I would live in it for the time being since I would acquire expense such as food, electricity, etc that I am not paying now since I live with my parents. Again, If you have anything to add or help, it would be appreciated.

To sum it up in a few words:

I am 20 years old, go to college, live with parents and have a low paying job. I want to buy a real estate property, but I don't have the funds or know what property would suite me the best.

If you could set me in the right direct as to how to get funding, finding good deals and getting knowledge on real estate itself that would be terrific.

Another thing I am also mildly concerned with is my age. I feel like I would be taken advantage of since I am new and not mention very young for a real estate investor.

Thanks :wave:
