Hello Kevin

First of all kudos to your big thinking and appetite for knowledge at such an young age. Early start off will definitely pay big down the line.

Here are few steps to get started:

1. Read Listen Read Listen - Books/Podcasts - Business and RE related and get the mind set

2. Pick a location and a niche and analyze deals on daily basis

3. Network Network Network - search for meetups around your area

4. Get your finances right, start planning about that first down payment you are required to do

5. Do the deal

6. Improve

7. Repeat!

Thanks!

Seetha
