(New Member) Guidance on where to start

[James McCloskey]

Hi, I am a new member who is looking for some guidance on where to start. I have made 1 micro investment at about 3% ownership on a rental property in Gaithersburg at about $400k total value of the town house.

1. I would like to get my real estate license (where and how are the best ways to do this?)

2. I would like to own more properties to rent (where can I look for these?)

3. I have a very low income (how can I circumvent the high down-payments for homes in my area) (not asking for some magic pill but some investor tips or loan advice)

4. I'm 21 and want to make up for lost time (what is something I can start doing today to get me on the path to accomplish my goals)

(any tips on how to improve my posts to this forum)
