New and needing some advice!!

Hello to all!

I just turned 21 and would like to get my foot in with real estate. Thought about becoming an agent, then thought about going head first into flipping, then becoming a wholesaler, then about a million other things. I have money saved in the bank and good credit but my problem is employment history.

So what would be your first step? Start out by working for real estate (and build up some more $) or just jump into investing? I’m in the south Florida region where the market is ridiculous right now. I would love to get started I just don’t know which route would be best for me!

If I were you I'd continue to keep on saving and learning. Focus on getting a solid W2 income and then you'll be able to get your foot in the door a lot easier
