Hello all,

I recently turned 18 and I want to get into real estate sales and real estate investing. I am looking for someone who is established in the real estate market in Buffalo, NY who would be willing to take me under their wing and sort of mentor me while I learn about the industry. 

A little more about me. I work nights at ThermoFisher Scientific as a Technician 2, as well as I am also into bodybuilding and powerlifting sports. I am getting into the real estate with the goal to begin to build generational wealth and gain financial freedom. I thank you to all who read this and anyone who may be interested in helping me out! 

I mean, kinda. If ill be able to buy properties at that time it would allow me to get some good deals. Or rather get properties at value not 30% higher like everything is right now.

@Ashley Kehr how do you find out about BP meetings in Buffalo? Im 16 I want to invest in real estate. I live right on the border of Kenmore and North Tonawanda

@Frank Patalano whats holding me back is the fact that Bigger pockets has no way to filter out comments you have already read. So basically I will never see what the people who @ me said because im not about to scroll though 2 months of comments.

@JD Martin I’m still reading every single response, but i got a lot of people PMing me now which was not what I thought would come out of me posting this. But I’m happy it did because a lot of great things are going happening in there. To you and to everyone else who has not yet gotten a response back from me yet. Thank you very much and I am soaking in all of your words like a sponge.

@Jim K. Id love to! I accepted the request, i am not sure how to start a PM, so if you can send that I would love to talk. Thank you Jim

@Jim K. You are assuming a lot about me, and for good reason but i want to say a few things. I never made this post like “Im dropping out today to peruse realest because school sucks and I’m going to be rich” I simply posed a question because I was curious and for other people who had that seem seed planted in their head. First thing I dont give up. Could it seem like I do in the question? Yes it does, but I dont. We need 24 high school credits to graduate, I have 18 and at the end of the year i will have 26. I did this by starting high school early. I removed all study halls, and any lunch periods. That way I was in school for 9 periods and I had 9 classes. I have already run through the business academy and some of the tech academy. All I have left in school in the classes the state forces us to take and a few others that I deem helpful. I also want to take public speaking next year.. I read through your responses and I enjoyed it because you put a lot of great advice in there. And at this point I wish I could either delete or edit my original post because more people keep commenting, which dont get me wrong I greatly appreciate, but its a lot of the same information. Please remember i tried to pose this as an idea, not something I wanted to act out on right away. Everyone has thought about dropping out, just wanting to see what people thought. Thank you for responding Jim!

@Keith Mack after reading all of these amazing responses I am going to force myself through the rest of high school. Im finishing up Rich Dad Poor Dad right now, and i just ordered three more books off of amazon. Thank you for your response Keith
