Future investor looking for advice

[Jaiden Alivera]

Hi, Im a recent high school graduate who has decided to take on realestate investing as a career. I find myself knowing that im in the perfect position to start off my career, but I'm a bit scared and confused on what route to take. I try to read books on different kinds of realestate investing and house fliping and I do think that they are useful but the information never seems to have a correct fit. With this kind of field its almost like all the info is out there but you dont know what to be looking at and in what order. I planned on starting off saving money for a year or so and using that for a downpayment too a property to then be able to flip in order to build capital. After doing that I wanted to get into multifamily rentals but I'm wondering if that's even the right way now. I know that it's not nearly as clear cut as that but that was my general plan. I also was hoping to be working fulltime during the start of this but im realizing that the job I have now isn't going to allow me to meet these finanical goals and now im wondering if I should take on a career in realestate, but the only one I really know of is realtor. 

Im really just looking for information of what i should be foucusing on right now and what subjects to be researching in what order. Also jobs that can get me a head start into the field and what kind of investment I should really start with. I want to learn all I can but it feels like I need to build a better foundation of the diffrent principles of real estate so any books or texts that you would recomend would be great. This is about the only time in my life where I will be able to save money without finantial burdens and I just dont want to screw it up.
