Welcome to BiggerPockets Roderick Lovo!

Although I don't entirely agree with the whole going to college thing, It is just another option. You have to really answer that question for yourself. Maybe to get some experience in the industry, you can try and become a licensed RE agent.

If you're looking to learn about flipping, you might enjoy reading The Book on Flipping Houses  I have to say it's one of my favorites now (I've read dozens!). If you really want to learn everything there is to learn about the process of flipping, from finding deals all the way to getting them sold, definitely check it out!

Hey Roderick Lovo welcome to the site!  I don't believe college will necessarily do a lot for your career (unless you wanna be a doctor/lawyer/whatever) BUT the experiences you have during college help define who you'll be. So I think you should go to college- but try to do it debt-free as possible!

Welcome to BP Roderick.

Read as much as you can here and listen to the podcasts.  Network with other investors. Search for your local REIA and meetup groups. I am sure you can find someone who will let you be an intern to learn the business.

Sorry to ask but i'm still very confuse with college, university, etc. 
I am suppose to go to a 4year college then apply to a MBA correct?

After highschool? Go to college, no question. Start investing in school after you've studied for a couple years and begin saving now. Without a college education, your W2 will never be where it needs to be to help you with financing, saving, etc.
