Hello! I am a 20 year old who would really like to go into real estate! I'm doing a bunch of research and trying to find out more and more every day. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for someone like me who is beginning into real estate?

Education x Action = Results

The first thing I recommend is to take stock of your strengths and weaknesses. Is there anything you can do that utilizes your strengths? That is usually a shorter bridge than working on your weaknesses. In this industry you can likely find somebody who has a strength in your weakness and vice versa. 

The next thing I recommend is to set some goals. At 20 I am sure your goals differ than me at 38, married,  2 kids and #3 on the way. In your goals set a timetable one how you plan to get there, lay it out and take it step by step.

Other big things are read and network. You will get to where you want to go fastest by having the knowledge and having the network.

Good luck on your journey!
