I want to get started in real estate but im 16.

[Rocco Rosa]

I am 16 from Philadelphia PA. I love real estate, I love learning or watching youtube/tv show about real estate. I know I can't sell a house or actually become a realtor due to my age. I want to know what I can do to get started or even get a head start in real estate. Should I reach out to a local realtor near me and ask for mentorship and for him or her to take me under their wing to gain knowledge and i'll do something in return. I am 16 and I know what I want for my future, I think that sets me apart from other kids my age especially since everyone my age wants to smoke,drink, and have "fun". I want to do the complete opposite I want to be successful. I just don't know how and that runs through my brain every day wondering what I can do to get a head start and set me up for a good successful future. 

Please respond, anything will help.

First of all salute to you for even thinking about your future so young, if I was on this path at your age I would have been financially free before 30. Secondly, if I could go back to 16 years old I would learn about everything that has to do with real estate & business. Also I would  get an older person in my family to open up a custodial account for me so I could start putting some money in the stock market. Lastly I would work as much as I could so I could save as much money as I could so when I came of age I could purchase a property as soon as possible.  Either way your on your way to becoming a millionaire & I want to be the first to say congrats
