Hey @Tyler Ballard

Congrats to you for your ambition! I work with a bunch of young aspiring real estate investors just like you (in a free online group), and I am willing to help you out with some advice or even chat on the phone if you wish. But I first recommend you read this article I wrote for Bigger Pockets titled How to Invest in Real Estate Before Turning 21. Once you've read it, let me know your thoughts and if you have any questions. I am a high school teacher in Colorado and I am always looking to help young people get started in real estate investing or help in any way I can. Let me know if you want to chat sometime. https://www.biggerpockets.com/

Thank you for the response! I’ve considered wholesaling to build some capital, but I don’t know the legality of it in salt lake because I don’t have a license.

@Tyler Ballard what is your end goal? If you know what your end goal is you can work backwards from there. Is there a particular aspect of REI that you are interested in? Have you talked to anyone in your area about the market there? Are you even interested in investing in that market?
