Seeking Real Estate Investment Advice at 17

[Calvin Stewart]

Hey BP,

I’m 17 (turning 18 soon) looking to get started in real estate investing. I’ve been reading books, watching podcasts, and learning as much as I can, but my biggest challenge right now is figuring out the best strategy to start—especially with little capital.

I’ve heard house hacking is a great way to get started, but I’d love to hear from experienced investors. If you were starting over today, how would you approach real estate investing as a young beginner, and how would you acquire the capital needed for an investment?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
