How does a 17 year old jump into the business?

[Devante Dixon]

I'm currently 17, finishing up my senior year in high school. Obviously, I'm not working with a lot of capital, so my question is: is it best for me to wholesale properties to start out, in order to build up capital for rental properties and learn about general real estate? Or do I hop right into rental properties just through creative financing and circumventing my way around money issues?
