Hello everyone!

During the past half a year or so, I've been researching as much as I can about real estate as possible. I know the general gist of it, however, there's always room for growth! That's what I'm looking for someone who knows how to get things done. The catch, though, is that I'm slightly confused as how to get started with it. I've been trying my best to look for a mentor so that way I could grow with a knowledgeable person by my side, but most seem to be turned off because of my age. I have a real passion for learning, so do you fellow members have any sort of tips on exactly how to get a mentor? If you are a mentor yourself, what do you look for when you first meet someone? I'd love to hear your replies! 

@Daniel O. and @Michael Beeman thank you so much for your replies, and pardon for my late one! Definitely will continue to expand my knowledge as best as possible. Next general meeting in my area with the REIA is on the 19th, so that's definitely on my to do list. Again, thank you!

Hi there all,

Recently I made the big decision to postpone college for the next year and focus on building up my financial literacy and real estate. I see where I want to be in the short term and long term, however here's the small little problem: I don't know where to start. 

Since I'm about to graduate high school, I'm going to have a huge amoint of free time that's going to allow me to focus more on my personal and wealth growth. What recommendations do you all have? As of now, the only preparation I have been doing is reading forums and books and using the rich dad coaching program that my father so wonderfully paid for me as a tool to use. Should I begin by going to REIA meetings or just try to delve in? Any sort of advice would help this 17 year old.

Thank you!
