17 YEAR OLD INVESTOR NEEDS HELP

[Tega Hamlin]

Hello! My name is Tega Hamlin, I’m 17 years old and I am wondering what would be the best use of my time right now to learn more about real estate? Pretty soon my dad and I are going to buy a rental property so I want to absorb as much information as possible. I’m listening to David Greene’s podcasts and reading “How To Invest In Real Estate” by Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner.

What kind of jobs can I do during the summer at my age to really be fully invested (see what I did there lol) in real estate and learn as much as possible. Anything you guys have, let me know!

Welcome to the BiggerPockets forums!

I would rely on your dad's life experience but also look for weaknesses that you can fill. For example, maybe he's really good at the maintenance stuff but has no idea how to deal with renters. You can learn that aspect of the business to make your team stronger.
