Where should I start ?

Question

I’m a 17 year old kid and I’d like to become very wealthy through investments in Real Estate but I don’t know where to start. I know I need a job but is there a specific job I should get? Should I go to college and get a degree or should I take online courses? If you could just give me the whole baseline of what I should do to get started that would be great. Thank you.

Nathan, I would personally recommend you look for a team. Honestly, I would not purchase a house from an 18-year-old kid with no life experience that has never owned a house. Odds are very good you've never signed a lease agreement. I won't even buy a house from a 40-year-old that has never owned a house. If you join a team, you can be involved in the transactions and learn from people with experience, accelerating your growth dramatically.

How Do Real Estate Teams Work?

Find the most successful real estate person in your community...could be a broker, an investor, builder, flipper, financer or whatever.   Go to work for them.  Hustle ever day.  Learn from them, ask them questions, ask for assignments.   Work for them 40-60 hours a week while you go to college for finance, marketing, business, economics, or something along those lines.   Read a financial book a month.  Ask the boss what books they are reading.  During the next 4-5 years determine where your interest is, ask your boss for investing advice as you save money.   Follow in their footsteps.
