I'm 18 and seeking your wisdom!

I've been interested in real estate investing for about a year now. Reading books, watching YouTube videos, and spending some time here on BP. I've learned a lot of valuable information but I'm still hesitant and unsure on how to start up. I guess what I want to know from some of you older/wiser investors out there is, what would be your first steps if you were in my position? You're 18 years old living in Houston Texas, about $1000 in your bank account, and you're ready to take some sort of action other than watching videos and reading on REI. I appreciate any feedback and thank you for your time. -Maliko

Hey Maliko, Unfortunately, I can't offer you any guidance from an experience standpoint, but I can offer you extreme value from a support standpoint.

Myself and a few other young (18-19) year old investors have started a small networking group in order to answer these questions and support each other at this crucial time in our REI careers.

We aim to make sure all of us stay on track and are committed to engineering and creating the future we want. 

If you're interested in joining, I've sent you a message through BP - just take a look and we can start talking :)
