22 years old and want to Learn money and Real Estate

[George Ghviniashvili]

Hello. I came across bigger pockets. Got some books. I'm studying to learn how to invest in real estate. I am 22 years old and don't have many people around me that understands this market. I always hear to post in this forum and see what comes my way in terms of information, connections, etc. I live In central New Jersey. I am not sure if this is a good place to invest. I also don't have a lot of money but I am dedicated to this goal of getting my first rental property, whether that's working for people that do real estate in my area, or just meeting more people that can give me advice etc.. Where is a good place to start? How do I start with little to even no money? Anything will help me. Thank you.

Like others have said, start with some self education.  "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" is probably the best place to start like @Tracy Ross mentioned.  After that, visit the BP bookstore where there are many books geared towards beginners.

Don't forget to add some podcasts to your commute!  BP also has several different ones for your edu-joyment.  Start with the Rookie Podcast (IMO).

Of course, you've already started posting here for help.  Don't forget about that!  When you run into issues, make a post and ask for advice.  Always take it with a grain of salt, though.  Just because something worked for one person doesn't mean it will work for the next.
