What steps should I take to get into real estate investing?

[Colin Yang]

I’m a young and ambitious 22 year old fresh out of college. I’ve been wanting to get into real estate since high school but never took the initiative to take classes. I’m currently working full time at a tech company but want to transition into real estate when I’m older. My situation in different as I have the capital to begin purchasing properties but I do not have the experience of guidance needed to do this properly.

Would it be in my best interest to save as much as I can and learn as much as I can until I’m older? Or should I start as young as I can to get ahead of the curve? I’ve also been made aware that it is not the best time to buy since we’ve been on an upward trend for the last 10 years and a correction seems in sight. I would greatly appreciate all personal and professional advice and insights on my situation. Thank you!
