I'm in high school.... Can I start now?

[Joshua Gutierrez]

I'm 17 years old

I have a little more than one high school semester left until I'm out for summer then off to college.

But I started reading a lot of about real estate investing and it sounds really interesting. I read on articles that say you can start young but

how can I start because I'm only 17?financially I think I have the ability to start the journey.

Welcome to the site @Joshua Gutierrez 

I was thinking the same thing @Walter Ichikawa-Doyle  just recommended.  A mentor of mine purchased his first home while in college and rented it out to friends/tenants.  He was able to live in this house for free while in college and sold it for a sizable profit when he finished.  I wish I had been that smart back then.  Just make sure you are landlord first and friend second or they'll walk all over you...probably.  Not a bad way to double down on your education.

My friend, who's now 58 I believe, owns millions in real estate and a nice little 48' sail boat on Chesapeake Bay.  If you're in to that kind of thing.
