How do I go about starting?

I worked alot with carpentry throughout my entire life. When I first moved to Massachusetts, it was difficult to find a friend group who knew their way around power tools,  however this summer I have made a few new friends that have benefited me greatly. One friend in particular had been crunched for time/ took on too many projects decided hired me to help finish some renovation projects on homes that are getting ready to list  or were already on the market. This has made me realize that there is no better time than now to start my career in real estate investment as there is no limits to what I can achieve. I just need to know where to start.

Welcome to BP @Nick Cassidy and good luck getting started! Do you have any real estate background or knowledge currently? There are really many different paths you can take with investing. From your post though it sounds like you are interested in flipping. In that case, your best bet would be to dive in and learn as much as you can. BP is full of information and resources. I would also suggest networking with other real estate professionals in your area. If you find any investors that are doing what you want to do, ask if you can shadow them and help them out in exchange for them teaching you.
