I am BRAND NEW to Real Estate and looking for the best advice on how to get started.

[Cody Scherle]

Hello everybody! I am completely new to Real Estate, and I am looking for the best advice to get started on the journey. I am 20 years old and a sophomore in college. My father owns 9 properties and within the last few weeks, I have sat down with him and started talking about how I would like to follow on his path. Understanding the benefits of Real Estate and more importantly, understanding the deficits that can come with it. My father bought his first property in 2016 and does it part-time. What would be the best thing I can do to ensure I am successful and follow my father's path?

Quote from @Nicholas L.:

Graduate from college

Get the highest paying job you can

Reduce your expenses

Save up enough to house hack

House hack

In a year or two, refinance and house hack again

Repeat

Good luck

 A surprisingly verbose response from you. I'll play your role this time:

"Just house hack!"
