New to BiggerPockets - interested in real estate investment

[Mario Rivera]

Good morning everyone! Recently I was introduced to BiggerPockets thanks to browsing Reddit. I've been interested in investing in real estate for a while now. This is due to having worked in construction and being connected to multiple companies. I have friends in real estate as well that are always great to have conversations with about their field. Currently, I have been researching and learning on where/how to start. I have a couple of questions and would love to hear back from all that are reading this post. If you were 25 and new to the real estate investing world, what would you do to start? Would you get a real estate license? Would you reach out to other investors and see if you can work for them? I've read a few discussions on the forums and have listened to the podcasts. So far, learning about real estate is very interesting and I'm excited to keep on learning. Thank you !
