Best Strategy and Financing to Focus On?

[Noah Ogle]

I want to get started in real estate investing asap but I'm not exactly sure where to start. Right now I'm studying a little bit of everything and its all over the place. In todays market and the near future markets, what would be the best strategy and financing so I can narrow down my studying and hopefully get my first deal within a year? I'm only 17 and have around 12k saved up. I was thinking of getting an FHA loan on a four-plex and work my way up from there but I'm not positive that's the route to go, especially when I'm just starting out and feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
