19...and 2 good jobs.

[N/A N/A]

Alright I'm trying to get into the real estate business while I'm young....You can't really get 6-17% gains a year in anything else. I'm 19 years old and have 2 financially stable jobs. I am a supervisor at UPS and I valet (laugh but the restaurant/club/bar I work at is a gold mine) and work 7 days a week. I have about $3,000 saved and could have $10,000 in 3-4 months if I don't overhaul my mustang. I've heard a few good things that I'm probably going to try out like the fannie mae first time buyer loan...buying a duplex and living in the top half while renting the bottom. (It'll cover a lot of the mortgage) buying houses in foreclosure that need a little work.. I really want info on foreclosed houses.

I do know a fromer building engineer that could take a look at a foreclosed home and tell me whether it is worth my money or not...I just want to learn about back-bills and other assorted things that come along with them. I learn very quickly It's just time..I don't have a lot to go searching through this forum so I was wondering if I could get some quick answers by making a thread.

Am I off to a good start? I have already heard about interning at an agency but it will conflict with my current school/work schedule. Any advice?
