Jobs Related To Real Estate Under 18
Hi! I am Joel from Seattle, Washington. Recently I’ve been starting to fall in love with real estate and every aspect of it. I have also recently ordered “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert T. Kiyosaki firstly because it was highly recommended by the BP Community, and I think it will give me lots of valuable information that will help me in life.
Anyways, that’s not the point of this post! I want to get a job as soon as possible to start saving up money to help fuel my passion for real estate. It would be awesome when I’m 16 to get a job related to the field rather than working jobs like Fast Food, Restaurants, etc. I want to gain as much knowledge and meet as many people as I can before getting deep into the business, and I think having a job will not only do that, but also be a ton of fun and an amazing experience. What do you think? What skills / abilities would I need? Thank you so much in advanced :)

There's tons of remodeling and rehab work in Seattle, but be careful... it can be strenuous, dangerous work, and a lot of remodel hazards (like lead paint and asbestos) have a larger impact the younger you are. Its a great way to learn how houses work if you're careful, aware, and safe though!
There have been a few other BP threads on this topic as well:

Good luck! If you find any rehab work you want to do feel free to reach out to us, we rehab 2-3 houses a year in King County. I'd just have to check that applicable child-labor laws to make sure its all kosher :).
