Young and newly licensed. Where do I begin?

[Jonathon Martineau]

Hey guys my name is Jonathon Martineau and I'm 19 years old living in San Diego. I just recently passed my real estate exam and I'm now looking where to begin. The main and long term goal is to become a real estate investor, but obviously you need to have capital and knowledge about what you're investing into before you start. I thought my best bet would be to become an agent so I could learn how the real estate market works, gain capital, and most importantly create relationships with people who can show me the ropes and point me in the right direction. Does anyone know who or what company I should reach out to? Or maybe another approach to reaching my goal of becoming a successful real estate investor. Either way, any advice helps!

Thanks!

Hey Johnathan! 

Great to see a young investor out here with me. I would personally begin by bettering your knowledge of investing and business overall. You can always better your mindset. (I'll list some books below that are great to start with) 

Joining your local REIA is a GREAT way to get into the world of investing for your specific area. A simple google search should show you where that is and who runs it.

Other than that, simply being on BP can lead to great knowledge of the business and how it works n your field. 

Good luck!
