Noob looking to get feet wet
Hello, I am a 16 year old High School student from GA who has no idea what he is doing but wants to learn real estate and start investing. I have been learning as much as I can from youtube and articles but don't know where to really dive in. I was wondering if it would be strange for me to go to my local REI meeting with no experience and being so young. Anything to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Go to the REI meetings! I have always been the youngest at any REI meeting I've gone to. The professional members respect someone young having the interest, drive, and passion to pursue something at a young age. It would be a great place for you to find a possible internship, and at the very least pointers on how to set yourself up for a successful investing career.
As I read @Ned Carey recently post, "any fool can learn from their own mistakes, but it takes a brilliant person to learn from the mistakes of others."
Learn from their mistakes.Reach out online, and in person.
Stay thirsty my friend, keep learning.
