I am an 18 year old student wanting to get started in real estate as early as possible. I have spent a lot of time listening to the BiggerPockets podcast and reading some forums and blogs on here.

I know I cannot buy a fixer right now to get started on holding real estate and renting it out but I am really interested in wholesaling. I have done some research on my own but would love to talk to people that have done it themselves and soak as much information up as possible. I live in the Orange County area specifically Fullerton, CA.
