Starting out (UNIQUE) :Excepting advice from anyone and everyone.

[Liam Nichols]

Hello, My name is Liam Nichols. I am a 17 year old future real estate investor with lots of options. I am fairly educated in real estate. I have read multiple real estate related books, and I am an avid listener to the Bigger Pockets podcast. I am also a close with a successful full-time real estate investor who I have spent time working for as a contractor, which has taught me a lot. The best way to describe myself is driven. 

Here is my situation: My goal is to be a full time real estate investor by the time I'm out of college. So in approximately 5 years I want to to be living off of cashflow. I will be taking a gap year in between high school and college, so I will be staying with my parents. Which means that I will have more than a year to work, and raise capital for future investing. My college will be paid for by scholarships and my family's college fund.( I will not be paying for college which I am extremely grateful for). Through my years of college I will start building my portfolio. 

Here are my questions: What general advice would you give me? What specific advice would you give me? What state/city or area should I go to college near for the best chance of success? Any Life/Non-Real estate advice? 

Thanks to everyone who leaves there 2 Cents.
