Newbie in Rochester NY

[AJ Nestler]

I am 20 years old and looking to get started in real estate, despite finishing up college. The reason I have fallen in love with real estate investing is because my father owns 30+ units in the area and has sparked my interest in becoming financially independent. Any advice on creative ways I would be able to get started and buy my first deal without waiting until I graduate college in two years?

Thanks,

AJ
