Getting Started

[Chris Stec]

Hey everyone. I'm new to the website and haven't had the chance to look around that well yet. I'm sure there are tons of posts about how to get started in the business of buying and selling real estate. I'm 20 years old and I am looking to get into the business of real estate. However, I have absolutely no idea where to go or what to do in order to get this started. I'm currently working 30+/- hours a week at a factory just to be able to afford my small one bedroom apartment. Living paycheck-to-paycheck, to say I'm struggling would be an understatement. I'm just looking for any input on how to get started. What are the first steps I have to take? What must I do? Where do I go? Who do I talk to? If I start saving some money for my first property, roughly how much will I be needing? Any help with how to fix and flip houses will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all!
