Advise for Beginners

I am an 18-year-old senior in high school. I have recently been introduced to real estate investing. I have been reading books and listening to podcasts as often as possible. What advice would you give to someone just starting out looking to learn more about real estate investing? Are there any books you recommend? What mistakes and regrets did you make that you can help newbies, like myself, avoid? Thank you?

Hey @John Mainarich

Congrats to you for your ambition! If you are looking to connect with someone for some guidance or advice, feel free to reach out. I also recommend you read this article I wrote for Bigger Pockets titled How to Invest in Real Estate Before Turning 21. Once you've read it, let me know your thoughts and if you have any questions. I am a high school teacher in Colorado and I am always looking to help young people get started in real estate investing or help in any way I can. Let me know if you want to chat sometime. https://www.biggerpockets.com/.
