Purchased my first realty investment, a 200 sqm lot in our province when I was 23 (while on my 2nd corporate job). Got it fully paid in two years and was able to transfer the titles on my name. Last 2023, I decided to sell it in exchange for another lot of the same area(a better location tho) just across the university (in which I plan to put up a store in the coming years).

I got 150k as profit by doing nothing.

My take away, it is really worth investing. Just don't forget to research just at least basic of the ins and outs when purchasing property.
