    You're going to have an uphill battle for a few years, just no way around it. People will rightfully assume that you cannot know as much as an older person, you just cannot have that much experience.

    The best way to gain people's trust is to do a couple deals and get happy satisfied clients who will use you again and refer you to others ......I don't see a shortcut here.

    Or else you have to have the deal of the century.   .people will sometimes sacrifice their comfort level when there is money to be made..

    Good for you though for starting so early, just hang in there and don't give up...

    Unbelievable to have this mindset and desire at such a young age, I wish I could've said the same.

    I agree with Bruce, you will be fighting an uphill battle but that's not the worst position to be in when the stakes are most likely very low. (No kids, excessive debt, responsibilities that come with age, etc.)

    By the time you reach 21 onward your experience level will be that of a budding pro when others may not even have begun which would be incredible for you and would carry a lot of momentum.

    My biggest advice in the wholesaling world would be find someone who is doing it and doing it well, ask them to bring you on for free or very minimal pay and absorb all of the knowledge in return for time and effort. At your age, money should not be your driving factor it should be to acquire skills, money will come later and in boatloads if you develop your skills now. Some food for thought.

    Kudos to you again, keep us updated on how you progress.

    You should wait until you're older and not sound like a kid when you place calls. Or have someone who is older place your calls.

    I started young as well and it wasn't easy at the beginning because not too many people will take you seriously. With some time your confidence and knowledge will outplay your age.

    @NA NA, you're incredibly young. Therefore, you need to be thinking long-term. Don't get discouraged when business is slow, and things don't pan out for the first few years. This is when you hear stories about how individuals in their early to mid-20s ultimately give up because they're burnt out and have little results to show. They say to themselves, "Well, I gave it a few years; I guess this industry isn't for me..." The reality is that even a few years in your late teens and early 20s is nothing. As I tell anyone interested in real estate sales, you must be in it for the long run if you pursue this industry. It takes years, hell decades, to develop a pipeline of clients and hone in on your sales skills. Find a mentor ASAP, obtain your real estate license at 18, and be patient while building your sales business. If you continue on this path and are passionate about your work, you'll be a stud by age 25 (still very young). Best of luck!

    Work on foundation matters first, namely education. Go to college and get a firm background in math and finance and - most importantly - whatever interests you as a human being. Get internships/go-fer jobs at a real estate brokerage that will take the time to explain to you why things are done the way they are done. Note that I didn’t say they would take you along on client showings or stuff, just explain things to you. 

    You have to know why you are talking about something and what its role is before you can talk about it intelligently. Talking intelligently gets you listened to. Spouting jargon and cant gets you ignored and damages your reputation. 

    The rest is detail.
