How can I start at 16?

[Yana S Bryl]

I have been interested in pursuing real estate, and I understand that I cannot make any purchases or really do anything until I turn 18. However I would really like to know what I can do starting right now (at 16) so that I can be prepared for the future. I want to learn everything I can about real estate and the kind of work that is available in this field. What would be the best way to go about this? Would I be able to get a mentor of some sort?
