Groups, Mentors and Growth

[Indya E. Allen]

Hello all,

I am nineteen years old and am looking to invest in real estate full-time. Right now I am reading as much as I can, saving as much as I can, as well as looking for properties. My overall goal is to be able to retire before the age of 30 and only have to work for myself. I am also pursuing a MBA degree as a resource for real estate investing. Are there any groups I could join or mentors I could shadow? I am not only trying to build on professional knowledge but also personal growth/habits. I believe that if I am around like-minded individuals I have a better chance of achieving my goals.

Thank you for any help you can provide!
