18 years old and very interested in real estate investing

I have been researching and reading about real estate investing for a couple of months. I have noticed many different paths you can take and I am trying to find the best one for me. I am 18 so should I save for a down payment and buy as soon as the time is right, or should I wait a couple more years until I have a secure job that I can work until I have enough units?  Also, I live in an area that is one of the fasted growing areas in the country (Cary NC) and although it would be great to buy here, prices are pretty damn high and the cheapest multifamily I can find is 500,000+.
