Real estate as a minor

[Blake Alvey]

My name is blake, I am a 16 year old highschool early graduate that has taken a recent interest in real estate investing. And though I have learned a lot from reading and watching real estate related content, I’m finding that the things that I have left to learn I would need to learn through experience or others experience; as a 16 year old most real estate investors I’ve contacted won’t take the time to teach me the things I want to learn , and rightfully so, they are busy people and have money to go make. I’m here to try to figure out my next steps in my real estate journey. I’m here looking for new knowledge and to be pointed in the right direction. One problem specifically noticing while I’ve been while running numbers on properties for practice is I simply don’t know the cost of labor, materials, etc. this makes it very hard to come up with a rehab/ renovation budget without literally guessing things. All tips are welcome and hoping to get in touch with some very knowledgeable people.
