Hello! I'm Evan and I've been reading about real estate investing (and other personal finance books) over the summer and I have learned alot and would like reach the seventh level of wealth via real estate. For the record, I have read:

- Loopholes of Real Estate by Gary Sutton

- Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

- Investing in Real Estate with Little to no Money Down by Brandon Turner

- Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor by Han & McFarland

- The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

- The Book on Rental Property Investing (first book I've read here) by Brandon Turner

- The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller

Reading has been my biggest source for knowledge and Brandon Turner has become one of my favorite authors now!

I don't have a job yet and I'm about to start 10th grade, but I'm hoping to get experience in this market as soon as I can and to create my network model. I'm not sure where to start, but I'm hoping that I might be able to shadow an investor to teach me the in's and out's of the whole buying and renting process, so I can get a feel for what to expect and develop some prior experience. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to attend any seminars or classes (due to budgeting issues), and I can't study for a real estate agent liscense and join a club until I'm 18. I hope someone can offer me to find an investor who would be willing to have me come along just to gain experience (preferably on the weekends and over school holidays and breaks). If there is any other suggestions to help me get started please let me know because I want to pursue this wealth building strategy. Much appreciated!

P.S 

I'm a little anxious because this is my first time using the BiggerPockets forum so please be patient with me!
