Aspiring, young, and motivated teen in Seattle, WA

[Kharhak Singh]

Hey everyone!

My name is Kharhak Dhillon Singh, but you can call me Dhillon. I am a 18 year old that is born and raised in the general Seattle area for all my life. For the past 2 years (throughout high school), I have studied real estate and tried gathering as much info as I can. Going to college (WSU) in January for entrepreneurship is something I look forward to, but I'd rather get into real estate before than so I don't have to rack up a bunch of debt. I plan to flip homes but have so many questions. Being 18 places a lot of obstacles in my way, and I'm ready to overcome them, but I just need help. Someone to mentor, coach, and walk me through everything. I don't currently have money, but I do have dedication, time, and a little bit of real estate knowledge ;). And I can guarantee I will one day be a top real estate investor in Seattle (not trying to be cocky at all, just motivated and dedicated). So please, give me any help at all. Anyone in Seattle that could take me under their wing would be a god-send. Thanks for reading!

P.S. Profile picture coming soon!

Dhillon, welcome to BiggerPockets!

You are at least old enough to legally enter into contracts, so I would suggest working to accumulate money, building your networks to attract investment money, and learning the business.  A part time job or volunteer gig with a real estate agent or investor/rehabber might be a good avenue to get some experience/credibility.

On this site, be sure to set up key word alerts and stay active.  The podcasts are great if you haven't found them yet.  One recent podcast was interviewing a younger investor.
