Hi everyone at BP! I’m 16 almost 17 right now and am planning on getting my real estate license before I graduate high school. For background I’ve been interested in the finance space since I was 14. Since I can’t really invest on my own as of right now, I’ve just been saving money (about 5 grand from a summer job). I’m planning on working again this summer to save even more while still having fun and being a kid haha. Any thoughts on how to get into the space (internships, classes, recommendations, etc.) would be greatly appreaciated, thanks! I’m looking forward to becoming an actual investor :) ,

Hi everyone, I'm a junior in high school (16) and finance is one of my hobbies. Right now I'm just learning everything I can about real estate before I start to house hack in a couple years. I currently have about $5,000 saved up from my part time job. Does anyone have any recommendations for how to make more money to save up for a down payment with an FHA loan? Any other tips for when I finally hit the real estate world? Thanks!

I am very impressed. I am a Realtor in Orange County. You are on the right track to be prepared to buy your first place in a few years. As for making more money...Maybe reselling/flipping items in your house. Baseball cards, technology (TV, cameras, etc). Go to Ebay and see what items are doing well on the resale list to get an idea of what you can sell or flip. You can also go to garage sales to buy popular items that will resell for more on ebay. Or work a side job after school.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for the help!
