Welcome to the BP community! This is an excellent resource center for pretty much anything you can think of in investing in RE. I believe in most states you have to be 18 to get your real estate license. First thing you should do is save up as much money as you can. If you get your license, you'll need money up front for fees, mls dues, marketing etc.. If you are purely looking to invest, use that money to buy a property and house hack it. This will help you build up capital to then buy another property to rent, repeat. You mentioned you're blue collar; learn as many trades as you can and look into BRRRR. This will give you an advantage buying and rehabbing properties. Good luck out there it can be a lot of fun and a lot of sadness. That being said do your research
