18 year old, Looking to get into RE

[Braden Hunt]

All, 

I'm 18 years old and have a passion to learn and grow in the real estate investment industry. The questions I have for the forum today are many and am just looking for guidance from anyone willing to give it!

As an 18-year-old, what is the smartest first step into RE?  

Is getting a real estate license worth it as an investor? If so, what are the logistics of working for a broker as someone who plans to invest? 

When deciding what ways to invest in RE ( Flipping, Rentals, Wholesaling) how do you narrow it done to your specialty? 

As a newbie looking to step into RE, Are there internship opportunities I should be exploring? If so, How do you recommend going into these opportunities with a lack of experience?

Hi Braden- wonderful that you are so passionate about jumping in at an early age! 

The best thing you can do is educate yourself. Books, podcasts, market research,etc. The better your understanding of that, the easier it will be to narrow down where/how to start investing. I can point you in the direction of some great resources if interested!
