First Time Investor with 1000$ Where and how do I start?

[Deonte Ademiluyi]

So I'm 20 with 1000$ saved and I don't want to go to school because I know that I want to start investing. I'm looking through google trying to find a good duplex but honestly, I don't know what I'm looking for and what to do.

I think that becoming an investor is something that you transition to over time, but you need to first have a steady income so you have some money to invest in the first place.
If you don't want to go to school, fine, but you need a some sort of skills and a job that you can make money at.
Then, once you have some money saved you can start using that money to invest and create passive income. It just takes some time but you'll get there.
