What should I be looking for?

[Micah Cook]

I'm a 19 year old college student. I really want to get started on my career as an investor. I've wanted to be an investor for as long as I can remember. My mom is a real estate appraiser and I've gone to many appraisal inspections with her over the years. I'm ready to get started. I've got about 4k saved and I make about 350 a week working and I also run an eBay store so I get a little more income from that. My main question is, what should I do first? Should I be looking for properties that would be good flips and that are cheap? Any help would be greatly appreciated
