New real estate investor here in Fontana CA

[Solomon Reotutar]

Hey everybody! Name is Solomon living in CA at the age of 23. Dropped out of college only for the reason that it did not teach me anything financially and that's what's more important to me. After watching a video with an interview on Robert kiyosaki, he made it clear for me on what I should be doing and be more focused on, and real estate investing is one of the main ones. I'm currently reading the free guide to start, but If anyone is willing to drop some knowledge on me, im all ears (or eyes). Any type of advice would help. Thanks guys

Welcome to BP, Solomon! You are right in between the ages of both of my sons. You will learn a lot being on this site, and as I've told many other newbies, read everything you can on real estate investing. Both the library and book stores have a wealth of information.  If you learn one thing from each book or article you read, it's worth it.

That being said, here comes the mother in me. There is no reason you cannot be an investor AND stay in college. Go back to school and learn to invest on the side. You can never replace a good education. You may not learn exactly what you need to be an investor, but you should never put all of your eggs in one basket.  I'm a very busy and experienced investor, but I also have three other businesses for income AND a college education. My degree has nothing to do with investing. Go back to school.

I truly wish you all the best!!
