Starting in Real Estate at 18?
Hey all! I’m an 18 year old who is going to college on a football scholarship. I am very interested in getting started in the Real Estate industry. I’m a go-getter who wants to get started in my career early. What should I do to gain as much knowledge, and what can I do to get started?

Read rental property management by Brandon turner. Also I would read am I too subtle by Sam sell which I think will resonate. After that I would look in to buying a duplex at a minimum in the town you are going to college in. This will build your path to wealth! What school you going to?
