At just 18 years old, today’s guest used her entire life savings to buy her first real estate deal.

Tiffany Da Silva had just graduated from high school when she decided to go (literally) all-in on real estate investing.

What was going to be a simple land flip turned into a rental property that has made her over $120,000! With proof of concept, Tiffany went back to the well, buying up several more real estate owned (REO) properties at auctions and even dabbling in new construction.
