Where to start at 19?

[Jesse Stemle]

Hello everyone, 

I am 19 and have been learning everything I can about REI over the past 3 months. I have primarily focused on flipping to sell because that is what appeals to me the most but I pretty much understand the basics behind other methods as well. Although I am attending the University of Louisville I may quit after I get my two year degree (I'll have it in a semester) so I can put all my money towards a deal and not a college degree I don't plan on using anyways.

My question is where should I get started?  There is only so much learning I can learn before I actually get out there and take action.  I don't want to get stuck just constantly learning but never actually taking action .  My goal is to do a deal within the next 3 years but I'm not sure what I should be doing to move on that goal because I don't have much financial history or money although I am working to change that.  All together I am just really stuck on what my next steps might be at this age and I would love to hear what more seasoned investors have to say or anybody with an opinion in general.   

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  

Thank you,

Jesse
