Trying To Get My Feet Wet

Gabriel Cardenas

Hi, 

I am an 18 year old, actually still in high school, and planning to go to college. I know that I don't want to be stuck in a cubicle for 40 hour a week. I have had lots of exposure to the real estate investing community which is what led me here. I need help trying to start off with something. I do have certain people who would be more than happy to give me that starting capital, but I'd obviously need to be very informed and know what I am talking about so I don't lose anyone money and keep them for future deals. I also am very good friends with a real estate agent who is willing to help me. Any tips?
