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?
