17 year old looking for advice on where to start.

[Carson Haizlip]

Hi BP, I'm 17 years old and I would really love to get into real estate when I turn 18. My question is what books and videos should I read/watch to get engrossed in real estate knowledge. So far I've been listening to Kris Krohn a lot and the bigger pockets podcasts. However I kinda feel like Kris is painting a unrealistic picture on how easy it will be. To be clear I'm not interested in real estate because I think it will be easy I'm well aware that it's very difficult. As of now I think I would want to get into rent to own or wholesaleing. Any advice on what I should be doing to prepare would be greatly appreciated.
