Good for you finding BP. Even better that you evolved, by 21, to the mindset of creating wealth. 

First to understand is that this path you have chosen is still work, just like anything else you might choose to do.

For a sports reference: Before you can score the touchdown (travel the world) you have to catch the ball, run down the field, and avoid getting tackled or pushed OB. None of it is possible until you actually get in the game (which requires years of practice and study and sacrifice). 

I don't say any of this to put you off... just to prepare you for what is required to actually execute on the goal. Read the books/blogs/articles to build your understanding (study the trade). Talk with all kinds of others about your passion (practice your pitch). Listen to those who have already achieved in order to further your understanding from their experiences (practice networking, study examples).  
Start at the beginning, be productive using the resources you have in abundance, create value for others while building your accounts.

Also, I second what @Nicholas L. has instructed. He is telling you exactly how to start at the beginning.

For a building reference: Every magnificent structure started first by digging down... to prepare the site for a solid foundation... upon which the structure would be built. 

I am happy to correspond and share whatever else I might be able to offer. Best of luck!

welcome. the best possible way to position yourself for success in real estate is to get a great job out of college, maximize your W2 income, minimize your expenses, and house hack.  that job will make you bankable - David Greene is now calling it a "down payment generator."  and the great thing about house hacking is that you can do it serially - every 1-2 years.  this allows you to scoop up properties with a low down payment each time.

hope this helps.  ask any follow up questions you have.
