Young aspiring real estate investor/entrepreneur

Elton Williams
Posted

I’m a young African American from Houston Texas who fell in love with real estate. My ultimate goal is to create generational wealth through real estate and leave my kids/family with wealth and passive income. My main interest is House Flipping, Buying and holding, and rental properties. I do a lot of research due to the fact I don’t have enough capital to invest and I’m only 17 years old . 
The reason I’m posting is because I’m looking for advice on what exactly I should do next to reach my goal . I go to college to start my freshman year of college next year . I plan on receiving a degree in entrepreneurship while learning trades in carpentry, and maybe electrical and plumbing as well each summer . I know school is not necessary for my goal but I am in a situation to where I get paid to go to school because of my fathers death. I might even be able to save enough money to invest In real estate out of college . I always plan to learn Spanish so that I can communicate with contractors and other Spanish speakers in real estate etc. 

Given that this is my plan what do you recommend i should add or take away to it ?
