Start learning, buying real estate in my 20's.  I got my real estate license in my late 20's, kept updated on continuing education, but only activated the license after all my kids started school.  If I/we had started buying investment properties (even 1 a decade) it would greatly have improved our financial wellbeing.

Learn from my regret.😁
