Breaking into Real Estate Investing

[Chelsea Morrissette]

Hello, my name is Chelsea and I'm 25 years old. I currently work in the IT field but over the past month and a half I've bee more interested in real estate investing. I'm located in Denver Colorado and looking for advice and tips on the market to taking that first step outside of reading. I'm reading the The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing. A couple of days ago I started listening to the BiggerPockets podcast and began gaining insight there. Everything has been so informative. I'm going to read and study as much as possible in the next couple of months. Would it be better to break into the market:

1.) Real Estate License?

2.) Finding a Mentor?

3.) Just do it solo dolo?

I'm very serious about the subject and trying to educate myself along the way. I've found out if done "creatively" I don't have to use money out of my own pocket. At this point I don't have much to work with. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
