Ideas to begin a life in real estate

[Fabrizio Vallejos]

Hello, I'm new to Biggerpockets and am looking to start a life in real estate. I am a High school student with my life in front of me. So any advice would be a huge help. Thanks!

Fabrizio, Im going to throw something at you here.  Are you looking to just work for a realtor or invest in property?  The reason being if your going to invest and dont know the ins and outs I'd suggest you take a course or even get a license to do home inspections.  It pays very well usually 300.00 to 600.00 per house.  The knowledge it gives you will pay dividends when you go to look at properties your interested in buying.  Even working as just an agent will help you help the homeowner in coming up with a price that is right to sell it at.  So many sellers over look the lil things that can be fixed easily and add value to the home as a whole!  Good Luck in your endeavor and as Nick above says network network network!
