Finding local investors to learn about real estate
I am a 17 year old high school student looking to start a wholesaling business after high school. I am determined and trying to do as much as possible to prepare myself. I am wondering where I can meet local investors to discuss real estate and learn as much as possible about the business. Thanks in advance.

Try to find a local real estate investing group or association. I found mine through facebook groups, and I've learned so much and have met a handful of people that I wouldn't hesitate to call for advice. I haven't started investing yet, but I'm hoping to start soon.
