How to get into real estate at 19

Hi I’m Max

So I have been into Real Estate investing since i was about 17. I’m currently 19 and have been searching for ways to get my feet wet in the real estate scene as early as possible. I do not have a mentor and none of my family owns any real estate, and it’s a daunting question every time i think of it but how do i start?

I currently work at starbucks and i am working on building my credit and saving for my first property after two years of taxable income. However, without a mentor or family with hands on experience it seems impossible to start out sooner than that and i’m VERY driven to start learning as soon as possible

what’s worse is i have NO friends in my age group or network that want to get into real estate or take investing of any kind serious( and i know my network is my net worth and that’s part of the reason i’m here (: )

Any suggestions or wisdom on where I can go from this? any type of response is greatly appreciated 🙏🏾

@Jaron Walling

Thank you honestly!!

Yeah, regardless of what my current friends do i’m trying to build my savings and investment portfolio so when it comes time to buy my first property(when i’m around 21) i can really go in and hopefully have 5 properties by the time i’m 23.

Do you have any advice on finding a mentor ?
