Advice for a 19 year old investor

[Christian Morris]

Hello, my name is Chrisitan Morris, I'm 19 years old and I would like to get into real estate investing. Now before I ask for advice on how to start out let me breifly tell you a little bit about myself. I just moved down to Huntsville, AL. with my girlfriend from Virginia. When we got down to Huntsville I found a job at a real estate investing company named Southern Capital Investments, essentially finding leads and working the leads up to getting the seller to agree to sell their house,  usually fix n flips or buy and holds. Granted working here helps me tremendously but here's the catch; Any investing I do for personal gain would have to be on my own time, with my own money (and seeing that I just got an apartment, there's around none of that..) off my own lead that I found on my own time. And on top of that I will be getting my real estate license soon, and I know there are certain things you can't do as an agent with buying or selling your own property. So, if you were in my shoes what would you do? How would you start? Or if you did start this young how did you do it? I'd love to hear advice and opinions!
