How Do I get started in real estate?

[Cameron Li]

Hey!! I am an 18 year old currently attending a university in California and I am looking to major in accounting. However, I am really interested in the real estate business for my future later in life as in early retirement because I don't think I want to do accounting forever. I've also watched a lot of videos about wholesaling and investing in real state, however, I don't know how to find any properties or even start! I've also went around looking for mentors to help me, but it is very difficult. I hope someone can give me advice!! Thanks!!

@Cameron Li - I would start by listening to every BP podcast and reading as many books as you can. Then look up any local REIA's in your area and start networking and meeting people. At your age, I would suggest that your first property be a house hack where you can offset your living expenses. Until you're ready to buy it, do what @Jody Sperling said and bring value to those that are already where you want to be and learn from them.
