21 year old looking to get into real estate!

[Jimik L Ligon]

Hello Everyone,

I am 21 years old from Philadelphia PA, I am really looking to get involved in real estate. I have done some research but it is very little. I have been invested in Kris Krohn youtube channel as well as a few others, but I really have nothing to go off of. I want some sound advice and people to help introduce me to more information so that I can educate myself and work towards my goals. 

Thank you all so much!

Hey Jimik! Welcome to BiggerPockets. I would definitely recommend getting started by reading as many books and learning as much material as you can about investing. If you search book recommendations on the site you'll find a ton (Rich Dad Poor Dad, Millionaire Real Estate Investor, etc...). You can also listen to the podcasts and stay active in the forums. Then I would recommend refining your investing criteria to what will suit your goals (flipping, SFH investing, multifamily, etc...). This will help you narrow your search when it comes to looking for properties. Then possibly reach out to a few people who are active in the type of investing you want to purse. Finally, I would jump in and go after your first property!

Good luck getting started in real estate!
