Investing in Real Estate And Stocks at a young age (21)

[Stephanie J. Valme]

Hello everyone,

So I invested in my first stock. It was nothing big but it was a big step for me because this was the beginning for me. I want to invest in real estate and want to make this my career but I read more and more on this website and I see professionals say get rid of all school debt before you start investing in real estate and I feel like if I do that I will never start. My debt is looking at 40k+ right now and I still have a year of college left. So I guess my question is, what can I do to get into real estate without paying off my debt first? I want to start getting into real estate now while I’m still in college but I don’t know where to look. Do I need my real estate license to start? Can I invent without getting my license? Are there internships that help young people like me get into the business?
