I really didn't start investing in my own portfolio until I was in my late thirties. No clue about investing at that young, but I went to college and got a well-paying job, which gave me the money to invest in real estate. Real estate is a cost-intensive business.

Your younger years are the best time to try things, work hard, and build a foundation. It will be hard but it might be harder having never tried it. The worst case is you learn something. There are lots of different ways you get to owning rentals, but if being an agent is a part of the dream, the first step, once you're old enough to be licensed is finding a broker and mentor who has already made the mistakes you don't want to make.
