Greetings from La Puente California

Hello Everyone, 

      Im a rookie to Real Estate Investing. I have'nt done anything yet besides getting started in educating myself. I currently work on indie films during my Saturdays and I work at mcdonalds (but film is what i studied for). I still want to work on films, videography but I've always been interested in homes and business. I one day will like to own my own business. Im 19 years old and I have a drive to reach my goals. 

I first heard about Real Estate Investing from Robert Kiyosaki and got hooked on it and now i want to do it. 

Do you guys think he's a wise choice to learn about Real Estate Investing? beside others recourses of educating myself.  

Can real estate investing be a side job? since its passive income that comes in. In that case I will be able to have my own business and still do my film work, and have invested in homes. 

Thanks to Bigger Pockets and everyone else Im excited to learn about Real Estate Investing and starting a new adventure. 

Blessings,

Chris Gonzalez

We're in the same position, I just started out as well and just a year older. I agree 100% with @Walter Minja educate, educate, and EDUCATE! At our age it's so critical to be focused to learn more, about anything. I suggest reading a lot of books in self development, not only in Real estate Investing itself. I personally like to listen to audiobooks and whenever I get tired of it, I go ahead onto podcasts. Sad to say but I don't listen to music or radio anymore, but the past few months I've gave that up I feel more knowledgeable within certain things. I mean it's a  lot better than hearing the same music every single day, and having to change the stations every time. :)
