Hey, My name is Kenny and i'm 16 years old, i know...REALLY young, but i am very interested in real estate investing, multifamily housing mostly. I have read around 25 books on the subject as well as personal finance and am looking forward to starting in a few years. I also hear that Portland, OR isn't a bad place to start. If you guys have any tips for a rookie, not even that yet, let me know.

@Brandon Turner hold on a second. Let's get back to the fact that this is a 16 year old wanting to get into investing. Applause!!!

@Kenneth Huddleston Congrats on your pursuits. You are likely better prepared than most other newbies out there. Keep up the efforts and do check out the links that Brandon shared.

Next, have you learned about Coverdell accounts? As I understand, you can actually have one of your own. Its a self-directed IRA but for education expenses instead. Learn up and ask your parents to sponsor.

Id be thrilled if my 16 or 15 year old would put this much effort into learning a business at this point. Again, go get em.
