Beginning in real estate investing for 19 year old
Hello, my name is Anthony Keys and I currently live in Bakersfield, California. I’m in need for advice on real estate as I’m confused but intrigued. Any books you recommend or anything that can help me in becoming an investor I’m open to learning. Thank you In advance for responses!

@Anthony Keys listen to the bigger pockets podcast and real estate rookie podcasts. Any time that you would normally listen to music, put those on instead. Let your brain absorb the information. If you are working, working out, or studying while it is playing an episode, liaten to it again later. (Your subconscious will remember more than you think).
Buy the "how to invest in real estate" book to find a niche that interests you. Then read two books about that niche.
From there, learn as much as necessary to make you feel uncomfortable but alert about financing. Real estate will never be comfortable, that is why awareness is key.
Now you are ready. At that point you have enough knowledge to start practicing and any other excuse will ultimately land on you.
It can be incredibly rewarding and I will just say to stay focused on your goal, and never let fear push you away from a good deal, or pull you into a bad decision. Congratulations on finding the freedom of real estate investing at such a young age!
