High School student, What steps should I take to get started?
Hi! I am currently a High School student at Stillwater. Looking for advice on what I should invest my time in to get a head start on my Real Estate career. Interested in rentals, investing, being a agent, and wholesales. Feel free to offer any advice.
Thank You!

Start saving up money now. Your first move should be a house hack. If you don't know what that is start reading up on it. You will need money for a downpayment. The sooner you buy the better.
See if you can find an investor or agent that needs help, even stuffing envelopes or plunging toilets. Tell them your goals and ask if they will help you to learn. You should be able to get your real estate license once you graduate HS if you actually want to be an agent great, if not don't waste your time/money, it's not necessary. Listen to podcasts, and read up on the subject, here and/or in books. Start learning about houses and how they work, what does it cost to replace a hot water tank? How much does vinyl plank cost per sqft installed? These are things that'll be second nature eventually but you need to learn first.
There's plenty more but this is a good start. Follow through.
