How would you set yourself up for success at 16 years old?

[Ryan P. Kotschedoff]

Hi bp,

I am 16 years old and I have studied real estate investing for a little over 2 years now. My experience consist mostly of the basics like reading books, listening to podcasts, watching informational videos, driving around potential deals after school etc. I will also be an intern at a local real estate brokerage in February to prepare myself for my future career as a real estate agent. Anyways, my question is, what would you do to set yourself up for success in real estate investing if you could go back to 16? What would you have done differently if you could start all over again? What can I do right now on the investing side of things?

Thank you for any tips or pieces of advice.
