Hey you all, my name is Gregg and I am in South Carolina. I’m 19 years old and looking to start in real estate. Is there any tips or things i should specifically be looking out for? Thanks in advance !

@Greggory Scott Hey Gregg, welcome! For starters, I suggest building your educational foundation in real estate (RE) FIRST. Get familiar with RE terminology, strategies, your local markets, and develop your personal investment strategy/business plan. Write down what you want to achieve through RE, identify the type of property you want to pursue (single family home, multi family, mobile home, commercial, etc) how you will pursue (wholesale, invest, sell as a realtor, GC, etc), strategies to building wealth through your prefer methods, and the time frame in which you would want to accomplish those goals.

If you haven’t already, start listening to the BP Podcasts, literally hundreds of hours of helpful content (start with ep 1). Join in on the weekly webinars, which go live every Wednesday (I believe) at 7pm EST. Access the handful of BP YouTube videos that show in-depth walkthroughs of real investment properties and how-to videos on analyzing those deals. Then practice for yourself; practice makes perfect. Read through the forums, they will become your RE Bible. May seem overwhelming at first, but you will begin to pick up on familiarities. And don’t be afraid to participate in forum posts! It’s a great way to network as well.

There’s a lot of information in the RE world so don’t be discouraged, be open to actively learning!
