Searching for information and a mentor/partner

[Antonio Parks]

My name is Antonio Parks and I am a college senior looking to begin investing in real estate in the very near future(I have no prior experience). My first goal is to create a sound investment plan then to move forward and purchase my first property before I graduate in ten months. I would prefer to flip it but it may be my first rental property depending on the circumstances. I am currently focusing on my overall financial literacy so I read a book a week or more.

Any advice on where to start or book suggestions are appreciated. Thank you

First and foremost, establish what kind ot investor you want to be. Don't waste your time trying to learn all the aspects to investing all at once. Don't spread yourself too thin by narrowing your focus point. Secondly, go to all meet ups in your area and make connections and see if there is a seasoned investor willing to mentor you in exchange for work. Be sure to provide the investor for reasons as to why he should train you. Thirdly, set goals, and don't be afraid to fail, just learn from your mistakes. Make sure to start, don't read and never apply the knowledge you obtained from reading.
Good luck,
Matt
