I'm originally from Spring, TX and my current company does some land deals in that area too. Send me a PM with more information about the land and I can put you in touch with a potential buyer.

@Ryan Watson

Thanks for that information! I know almost nothing about credit cards so that was really helpful. I plan on doing more research and getting a card soon.

@Mike Walker

Unfortunately I wont be able to go to the meetup. But please keep my posted for future ones because that sounds great. :)

I am planning on completing mine through the University of Texas. You do not have to be an admitted student and it is all online. It is slightly less expensive than Champions School of Real Estate.

@Jenna Stonecipher I hadn't even considered how my student loans would affect my eligibility. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, as it is definitely something I have to keep in mind. I'm going to start building my credit right away so I will be able to get into deals in the somewhat near future. Awesome post.

@J Martin

Thanks for the tips! Very helpful.

I actually plan on getting my real estate license over the summer, allowing me to secure internships with local real estate firms. This will also give me access to the MLS which would be a great jump start for finding deals. So I plan on holding off until at least this summer. Thanks for the post, great information to know for the future.

Thank you all for the words of encouragement. Its always helpful to know I'm on the right path. :)

John,

Thanks for the encouragement. I will definitely be attending as many local meetings as I can!

Hello all!

I have been a lurker on the forums here for quite a while so I thought I would finally introduce myself. I am 18 years old and currently attending the University of Texas at Austin. Over the next few years I hope to take my first actual steps into investing. At the moment, I am solely interested in obtaining knowledge because I believe I am in no position to make the first move. (Hopefully that will change soon!) I have read numerous real estate books and listened to countless podcasts. In addition, my father is an active investor and we chat about real estate all the time. I would like to get into wholesaling at first, then eventually buy-and-hold properties to slowly build a passive monthly cashflow. However, I believe my age is a factor that is holding me back, for I have a fear of not being taken seriously in this people-centric business. Also, I have zero credit and only about $7,000 saved up from my high school jobs. Nevertheless, I won't let go of my ambition and I hope to keep learning more here on BP!
