@Henry Lazerow thank you for the insight, I've noticed these “ Gurus “ selling courses. A few of my classesmates found them to be a waste of time and money. How important is it to have good credit when making these deals? 

@Vince Scipione Thank you for your response, from what I noticed and see everyday most people are in real estate or investing in general to make a quick buck. I’m not exactly interested in investing for a quick dollar. Its much more to life than that, I'll definitely check out some books ,Thanks for the advice .

@Patrick Roberts First off I’d like to thank you for your response.Yes I am currently at LSU, and I'd definitely appreciate it if your able to introduce me to notably seasoned investors. I've heard of the Red Stick group although I was not aware of their monthly meet ups thanks for the insight.

Hello  I'm currently in my sophomore year college pursuing a degree of Electrical engineering. I always pass by these abandoned buildings or abandoned plots of land ask “ what can we turn this into and how can this be beneficial to the area? Maybe its just my optimism I find the idea of real estate very interesting. I'm open to any responses or ideas. I'm reaching out not necessarily for profit but to learn. Of course we all want to make money and care for four families. I personally want to learn from those with experience. I'm coming into this with no experience and no biased ideas. As the wise say “ once you think you know it all you stop learning “ 

I was just wondering ,at the age of 18 what are some things that you can get involved in real estate?
