It is refreshing to see someone as young as yourself interested in taking control of their financial future. I would advise consuming as much content on personal finance and real estate investing as you possibly can without feeling burned out. The Bigger Pockets Podcasts are a phenomenal resource that are 100% free. Books or audiobooks (my personal preference) do have small costs associated with them. However, these costs are next to nothing when compared to value they provide and income they help produce. I would start with these three and consume them in this order. 

The Richest Man in Babylon - George S Clason 
Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert T Kiyosaki
Set For Life - Scott Trench 

The ideas in these books helped me become financially free at 26 years old. They are an incredibly powerful tool and I make sure to reread them once every year or so. If you are able to familiarize yourself with this type of content regularly, then you are setting yourself up for tremendous success given your age.
