Hoping to find clarity..

I am truly inspired by real estate. My intentions indicate fix and flip, and rentals, preferably Small Multi Family. I am 17 years young with a couple questions for the savvy individuals aboard Bigger Pockets. Now to get right to the point, I am a bit confused on what to pursue first with acquiring my first property, conversely, my plans do include credit build up and a steady income. I turn 18 this month. Being able to capitalize on this age would be phenomenal. I am located in Southwest Virginia, pushing to acquire 2 doors minimal at 18. Thanks in advance for who takes the time to educate a young fellow!!

You'll need a good steady job with verifiable paystubs...and some cash for down-payment and repairs. Other than that, I'd get some education...specifically in Real Estate and Construction. Do jobsite clean-up after hours, be an office gofer.....volunteer if necessary!

You'll do fine with a great attitude and an early start. I won't even mention what I was doing at your age......
