Thank you for acknowledging me and showing interest in me. The main reason why I started at this age is because I know it's a good way to begin making money and to save up for my future family.

Hi, Josh. Yes I have been to local reia meetings. I recently went to one a couple week ago in Arlington and now I'm signed up to go to an event that's being hosted in Addison. I have been looking for a mentor I just thought I would try my luck here too. Thank you.

I am 17 and I am wanting to start a career in real estate. I know only a tiny bit about real estate investing but not much. I live in Waxahachie, TX and I'm hoping to find a mentor that's been in the business a long time and knows a sure and successful way to invest in my area. I do not have any money to pay right away but I would like someone to teach me and to "hold my hand" through my first investment and show me what to do. Please and thank you.

Devan Mcclish I know it is not a get rich quick thing. Is real dealz rich dad poor dad all different things? Or all one? I can't really tell. And yeah, reading is gonna be hard for me. Reading is something I would avoid doing if it wasn't an interesting topic. Ryan W. And yes I'll do that too. I'll ask if there's any work to do for somebody in the business and ask them questions among the way too

Devan Mcclish Is that what you did when you started out. Did it really take that long to close your first deal? What books or audio books do you suggest?

Hi I'm 17 years old, I'm a guy, and I'm getting into real estate because I heard the general process is quite easy starting out and also you can make big bucks. Find a house, talk to mentor, he'll talk to contractors and stuff and give you a price of how much it'll be to fix it, talks to the owner see how much they want, talk to a hard money lender and if they ask for a down payment go to a gap lender. After the house is fixed up talk to my mentor so he can teach me how to find somebody to buy the fixed up house and they'll buy it and you pay everybody off and you get your profit. Is that the general concept of it? Will somebody teach me what to do to start out at 17 years old? Where do I go? What do I do? What steps do I take? Most importantly, how do I just start? Thank you, your help will be much appreciated.
