Don't borrow to invest…you will find the interest paid will offset your gain on the investment, and worse still, if the investment loses money, you will still have the loan.

I will give you some good advice…pay attention.

You are young and that makes a big difference..Save up your money until you have $1,000, and take it to the bank and buy a no-load balanced mutual fund, Figure an amount per month that you can afford to invest and tell the bank to take this amount once a month to buy more shares of this fund,
Then start reading about investments, markets, market psychology, how changing interest rates affect markets, how current events affect markets, and anything you can learn about investing will help you understand.

This amount you invest every month won't be noticed by you (not having it to spend) after a few months…..Increase this amount when you can..if you get a raise, put the take home increase into your fund. As you learn about investing and understand your risk tolerance, branch out ito more diversification, Like a good equity fund, maybe a resource fund, but start with a balanced fund.

Over the years you will get rich following this advice, but don't start spending your fund on cars or trips…otherwise you will have to start all over again.

To those in the greater KC area: If you've been lookin' for the right real estate investment guy, but have been frustrated, this workshop is for you. I know Chris personally, have put my own boots on the ground in his region, and seen him in action. He's the real deal.

Attend the workshop. The least that will happen is you'll learn the nuts 'n bolts of REAL real estate investing.

You're a decade late for that particular bogeyman.
