Beginning investing at a young age

Hi there all,

Recently I made the big decision to postpone college for the next year and focus on building up my financial literacy and real estate. I see where I want to be in the short term and long term, however here's the small little problem: I don't know where to start. 

Since I'm about to graduate high school, I'm going to have a huge amoint of free time that's going to allow me to focus more on my personal and wealth growth. What recommendations do you all have? As of now, the only preparation I have been doing is reading forums and books and using the rich dad coaching program that my father so wonderfully paid for me as a tool to use. Should I begin by going to REIA meetings or just try to delve in? Any sort of advice would help this 17 year old.

Thank you!
