    Buying a home is challenging, especially if you're not paying in cash or avoiding a government loan. Even with just the minimum monthly payments on a 30-year mortgage, I’ll end up paying more than twice the value of my home. I was fortunate to buy before the market went wild, so I secured a good interest rate. I can't imagine trying to rent or buy in the current conditions.

      I hope to own a home some day, not quite long I started investing. I'm very curious already and need help on how to enhance and increase my returns. Any good investment tips will be appreciated.

      The enduring US stock market bull run evokes a mix of fear and excitement, presenting opportunities with insight, resulting in $780k gains in the past ten months, utilizing a portfolio advisor for a well-defined strategy.

    I feel investors should focus on under-the-radar stocks, especially given the present rollercoaster nature of the stock market, because 35% of my $270k portfolio consists of plunging stocks that were once respected, and I'm at a loss for what to do now.

      Lots of individuals undervalue the function of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions. I remember a couple of summers ago, following my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to assist my business stay alive, so I looked for licenced advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. Despite inflation, she has helped me increase my reserve from $275k to $850k.

    *You're a renegade.*
    While everyone else your age was going to college, you went to work in the real world.
    While everyone else your age was getting a corporate job, you went into sales.
    While all the other realtors where avoiding rental leases you did nothing but.
    While all the other realtors gave up on going to open houses every Sunday, you kept at it, even though you saw no results for 10 months.
    My biggest regret in life is that I didn't listen to my gut and go against school / society/ the crowd / my parents.
    Oh well, the best time to plant a tree is 10 years ago. The second best time is today.

Maxed out 401k, but heavily invested the rest in to a brokerage with my biggest gains being market index funds. Live within means allowing investments to develop early. So many different paths!

      @@Itryfi Not anyone can do it by age of 30. Everyone can follow the same principles, but main ingredient is still timing. If you look at Nasdaq from 2005 to 2014. IT stayed constant and dropped. So if you invested from 2005-2008, you would have rough years and most likely would sell your portfolio at a major loss. No one's going to wait till 2012 for them to start doing better again. Or buying real estate in 2007 and then having the market crash. Then you have to literally suffer next 4-5 years just holding. You might be tempted to sell during that time. You invested at the right time when market just grew and grew and grew. All real estate and market been growing since 2012. It's much harder to invest now since everything is inflated and seems to be in bubble. Now what is someone going to do at this time?

    I'm pretty sure that a buyer who loves the house (product) wouldn't care even if the real estate salesperson was young or old, tall or short, slim of fat, male or female, wearing shorts or tie. They will buy the house because they love the house.
    The reason why the other agent was telling you it's not the time in real estate is because you are another number that will eat part of their pie... another competition for them.

    Graham, whenever I was in college, I never found a major I actually really liked. It made me super depressed because I really felt like I had no purpose in life and nothing to work towards. I loved to learn and found your video (this original video) and it drew me in to real estate. I decided to buy an online course and I passed, I’m a licensed realtor! Ever since the first day I began my course, I finally felt I had a purpose. I’d stay up late just reading and watching videos! You led me to really finding purpose and direction. I’d love to have you as my personal coach because you helped me defeat some of my self conscious fears and become more outgoing. I see a lot of personality traits in you that I see in myself. Being 21 and a realtor, I do find people doubting me simply because of my age. The drive and passion that I have deep down in my heart is so on fire and I believe with you helping me, I could really achieve everything I limited myself from reaching! Thanks for all you do brother!

    25, grew up middle class, parents kicked me out at 19 for being an atheist, never went to college. Got a job as a meat cutter at Albertsons for $9/hr, got a second job as a customer service rep at uhaul for $10/hr - worked 70hrs a week to save up for a coding bootcamp. Quit both jobs and paid $700/month to do the course for 3 months. Networked like crazy and got rejected from interviews, did some freelance work for $25/hr, then built an app for 3k flat for some local company. Finally got a job from those skills I learned and BOOM, $110k salary. Did that until the company went under and then studied for months and got hired by a FAANG, BOOM $215k. Am branching out more to get into management and business now, but am afraid of burnout, wish me luck.

      Thanks! Since this got a few likes, a couple bits of advice I would have for motivation/life is to:
      1. Think long term, not just about retiring but about the impact you want to make in the world in 10 years and what you need to do to get there. They can be simple goals too, like wanting you save up enough to be able to go full time on a less lucrative passion for a year.
      2. Stay humble and acknowledge socioeconomic factors that can affect other people’s success, but don’t buy into toxic defeatist or unrealistic mentalities. This ranges from “nothing worthwhile is attainable under capitalism, we’re all struggling and depressed and so you should be too, don’t even bother trying” to “I’m an entrepreneur and you’re a wagecuck, don’t buy into the 9-5”
      3. Avoid pyramid schemes and get rich quick schemes, real money takes real work, time, and strategy.
      4. Avoid romantic partners that think that you should pay for their expenses like their parents did. Wasted 5 years of my life on that.

    I now own a few more and life is good. Still working a good paying job and live on a fraction of my income so I can keep investing.
    Only shame is the construction company I started and lost is doing over $100million a year building buildings in LA.

    Here is why algebra is a *great* thing to learn if you want to become an investor (any kind, including real-estate): It's a tool you need to understand hardcore statistics and how to calculate probability. You can use both these things to analyse and understand the market (whatever that might be) in order to find better deals.
    So yeah, in and of itself algebra is pretty useless. But when used in conjunction with more advanced mathematical concepts, it becomes really, really powerful. IMHO it is the only thing you really need to pay attention to in school. If you're into construction or engineering, knowing math is also a godsend.
    Everything else they teach you at school are actually just distractions to keep you there for longer, to babysit you so mom and dad don't have to feel guilty for staying longer at work.

    Idk if it's just me, but this video is both inspiring and depressing. You believed in yourself and kept working hard, but you also struck a lot of luck. From having the knowledge of doing small things (photoshopping and getting paid at 14) to meeting the right person/ people at the right time (the agent who offer to mentor you and the couple from the first home you sold). I'm not doing terrible, i just finished paying off my car and renting a house i bought, but it gets me wondering if where i would be if people would give me a chance. I'm 24 working at a warehouse and being told from my supervisor, manger, human resource, and plant managers that I'm "too smart to be here" but also don't want me to quit nor help me move up

    My high school experience was very similar -minus working. College wasn't even on my mind, and so at 18 I went straight to work in the food industry, and paid for it heavily with my health in the following years. Now at 23 I've had numerous jobs working in the retail/food industries, and I've found myself back at the first job I had at 18 (though this time around in a higher position). And now I'm seemingly "stuck" in my job.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to be in the position I'm in and to even be able to have a job cause I know many people would love to be in my position. But I want more from my life.
    So here's my why and how:
    From my point-of-view you're where I'd like to be in a couple of years. I want to become financially free, which to me means being able to provide for my family and not having to worry much about their financial future and being able to go on a vacation every now and then. I feel like I'm on the right track just trying to improve my knowledge through reading and absorbing valuable info, so perhaps a talk with you would accelerate that process and maybe expand my vision in blindspots I might have.
    Either way please know that there are lurkers who are very grateful for your valuable insights, and hopefully whoever wins the call will be fast tracked to their own visions of success!

    I live in VA and my grandfather has been a realtor and broker for many, MANY years. My grandpa has also been in debt for years from ruining the cattle farm he was given. My dad tried realty and got out of it for a steadier job and now is barely above debt somehow. It really just goes to show no matter what you do you gotta go hard if you wanna succeed. If you just choose a direction but never commit you'll never get anywhere. Its the commitment and the knowledge of the outcome that really gets you to these heights.
    I, myself have worked off and on for a few years. I live cheap, and tend to save up just to take time off and enjoy life a little bit. I doubt I'll ever become a millionaire but I'd like to believe I could if I ever decided it was truly worth the grind that it takes. But really at my, and probably most everyone else's position, being over the age of 20 it'll take years of commitment and frugality to only enjoy less time than it took to get there.

    Everything about this story just sounds like he lucked out hard. First he started making 20-35$ and hour at 14. That is more than most people end up making in their lives. Then someone hires him for 50% despite being 17 and no prior experience, then he sold his first house ever in Beverly Hills at 18 which is probably the most expensive area in the entire world. I'm not saying he didn't work hard, I'm just saying the luck the universe gave to this dude worked harder. But I guess if he didn't try any of this to begin with he wouldn't have met the people to see any of the luck to begin with.

    Overall you had the optimistic mindset all along your journey. You looked at this opportunity in a different angle than other agents starting. You understood that being consistent was going to get you results. Also you had to put in work and also “free” work as risk work to get an opportunity to have a client. I like your mindset of seeing the bigger picture in the long run. I can relate with you about seeing the school system as a waste of time for taking unnecessary classes that had nothing to do with making you money or related to your end goal. Great job on understanding selective listening as a new agent and filtering out all the negative opinions of others.
