You're 20 years old again and want to get into real estate...

Hello, 

So If you were to go back to your mid 20's and get into the real estate business what would you do how would you do it? I'm moving to Denver in a few months and want to get into real estate as a full time job. The only experience I have, is when I helped a friend completely gut and reno a rental property two years ago. It was an amazing experience learned a lot and reconfirmed my love for this industry. I know I belong in this industry, i just know, and moving to Denver gives me the opportunity to jump right in. I don't have the money to just invest or just buy a house right away. That's why I'm here, I've read Set for Life, I've listen to countless podcasts (bigger pockets and others) but still don't know how or where to approach this industry. Do I flip, wholesale, go commercial (the more I hear/learn about the current residential market in Denver this seems like a a good option). What would you do if you could do it all over again?

@Josh Hawkins - Denver is an extremely competitive market to get into right now. Especially if you don't have capital or experience. There are people with a whole lot of capital and a whole lot of experience flipping and wholesaling in Denver. 

If you have no option but to move to Denver, let me know when you get here. We can sit down for a coffee and I can tell you some of the people that I recommend you meet. 

Keep reading and keep listening to the podcasts! There is no such thing as knowing too much.
