Questions to every successful real estate investor

[Andrew Saquing]

If you knew what you know about real estate investing, what would you have done differently when you first began? What mistakes did you make early in your career?

I am a college student interested in real estate investing. I am in the process of obtaining my R.E salesperson license and I have money to immediately invest in real estate. What I really want, though, is to get direct experience within the industry through interning or shadowing etc..

Are there actually investors who are willing to take someone "under their wing?" If so, given the fact that I have little experience/knowledge, what are some ways that I could make myself stand out to an investor playing with the idea of becoming a mentor?

Thanks to all who reply for their help.
