How to start early at 17?

Hi I'm 17 years old, I'm a guy, and I'm getting into real estate because I heard the general process is quite easy starting out and also you can make big bucks. Find a house, talk to mentor, he'll talk to contractors and stuff and give you a price of how much it'll be to fix it, talks to the owner see how much they want, talk to a hard money lender and if they ask for a down payment go to a gap lender. After the house is fixed up talk to my mentor so he can teach me how to find somebody to buy the fixed up house and they'll buy it and you pay everybody off and you get your profit. Is that the general concept of it? Will somebody teach me what to do to start out at 17 years old? Where do I go? What do I do? What steps do I take? Most importantly, how do I just start? Thank you, your help will be much appreciated.
