I am 24 years old with no kids and still living with my parents. I want to see what’s out there but need some guidance in the right direction to start off.

@Nicholas Aumua Congrats on taking the first step! The next step, in my opinion, is to consume as much information as you can. This will lead you towards a certain type of investing you're interested in (wholesaling, flipping, commercial, etc.), and also better prepare you for conversations when you start to network. It's much easier to talk about real estate when you have knowledge on the topic. 

While you're educating, it's important to get your finances in order. Save as much as you can and try to eliminate debt. This will put you in a strong position when you're ready for your first purchase.

Best of luck!
