Starting off with real estate

[Israel Melendez]

Hello, I'm a 16-year-old with a passion for this business. So far I have only learned through various videos, books from BiggerPockets, the BiggerPockets podcasts, and other forms. I want to know from people in the business what should I do to get experience, what should be my next move, and just advice that will help in the long run. I've realized that I love the concept of real estate and I want to build it to be my chosen career. Any advice or anything helps!

Thank you!

Don't be afraid to get involved and reach out to other investors in your area (bigger pockets is a great way to find them). Once you find someone, try to figure out how you can help them and bring value to the relationship. This will allow you to get some practical experience and learn while doing. 

I would also encourage you to continue to educate yourself by taking advantage of all the resources BP provides (podcast, forums, blogs, etc). There is so much knowledge to be had and it is amazing what you can pick up from just been active.

 Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Always happy to help!
