Where to begin

[Luke Okane]

       Hello, my name is Luke O'Kane and I am a current senior in high school. I have been interested in real estate investing for a few years now and have done a lot of personal research from listening to podcasts, reading books, learning simple comp skills, and being an intern this past summer. I have large ambitions to begin my own portfolio in the near-ish future and was wondering what you guys would do if you were in my shoes to best prepare me to be an eventual investor. Thank you so much and happy holidays.

Hello Luke, 

I would recommend to focus on building your capital as fast as possible as thats probably the biggest obstacle for most people. Find a high income gig and live way below your means so you can save as much as possible and help speed up the process. Once you reach your goal then begin looking on how to use that money so it can continue to grow for you. Create a road map for yourself to make sure you reach your goal. You can also partner with people as well. In the meantime continue studying the markets and the industry. Attend local real estate meet ups and ask questions.
