What is the best thing for me to do at 16 and start investing
Hello! I’m 16 and I’m a junior at Howell high school in Michigan. I’m trying to find the best place to start at this age that has a low initial investment. I’m always trying to find new ideas, new ways of going about things and I’m always educating myself. Currently I am reading think and grow rich which is an amazing book. I am very ambitious and stop at nothing to get to where I want and will be. My biggest interest is in commercial multi family real estate. I have a couple awesome people I reach out to to get advice but what’s a better way than to reach out to hundreds and familiarize myself with this platform. I have no plans to attend college I find myself to learn much more through the real world and not getting 6 figures into student loans but I will be attending a awesome apprenticeship program really only to build capital to invest and get my real estate career rolling. However I will be getting a brokers license as I see no reason to not spend the $400 to receive something as valuable as that. Thank you for your time to read this message and for your advice. - Collin
