Teen Real Estate Prep

I’m 17 years old I turn 18 in 4 months and I have read 3 books about financial education and real estate investing, I listen to lots of podcasts and YES I READ RICH DAD POOR DAD, I also invested my hard working earned money into a real estate investment course so that I can at least use to keep gaining knowledge on daily basis . One problem is that I live in Maryland where property tax is insanely high & the other problem is that I have not found any wealthy investor who is willing to invest in a 17 year old, I have nothing but ambition, time and an open mind, as of right now I’m learning wholesaling and due to COVID it’s kinda hard of to do. I’m also attempting to do “Bird-Dogging” and it’s kind of hard as well, I’m graduating high school on May 15th, 2021 and I plan to attend Community College this fall to major business BUT I don’t want to let school distract me from my DREAM of becoming a successful independent real estate investor.I know the basic mechanics of how in state and out of state real estate investing works, I would appreciate If any Investor could give me any advice to a young future investor like myself.

- GOD BLESS

Hey Jamiil I live in Springfield Virginia so fairly close to you. Id be happy to help you out with what next steps you might take to start off the right way. I admire your mindset and motivation, at 17 I was still playing videogames and had no clue what I wanted to do in life. Just make sure you have fun on the way, it is incredible that you are thinking about the future but make sure you travel, explore and party as well. Although, Im pretty sure you will do those as well.
