In E027, Dan Chiappetta tells his amazing and inspiring story of getting started young in real estate investing. Very few people buy a house before they even graduate school but Dan did. At the age of 21 years old, Dan bought his first investment property with one of his friends, having his parents as co signer, and proceeded to flip that house for $85,000 personal profit. When I heard this I had to do a double-take. It's almost difficult to imagine making that kind of profit at that age.

Since flipping his first property Dan has continued to acquire long term holds, perform BRRRR investments and flip properties. He's got his home plus 4 units right now and is actively working on a purchase of 6 more units. It will be interesting to watch Dan progress as he continues on into his 30s!
