Gap Year Real Estate Investing

Hello. My name is Mack and I am going to be junior at a small private university in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. School has been an amazing experience and I have done very well, but with the pandemic threatening to put classes online, I am leaning towards taking a gap year. Earlier this summer I read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, and just like so many others, it changed the way I think about money and investing. Soon after I began listening to the Bigger Pockets Podcast. The more I listened, The more I am thinking that I would enjoy a future in real estate investing. I'm reaching out to all of you for advice on how I should get started. I have around $6,000 saved up, and I am thinking about getting my real estate license before the school year starts. Despite the pandemic changing my plans with regard to school, I think this time off would be such a great opportunity to dive into the universe of real estate investing.   Any tips or words of advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
