Hey! I just turned 17 and was wondering if I’m legally allowed to take the 75 hour class for becoming an agent? Or is there a particular organization I should contact to make sure? I wanna be able to provide more value to the agents I meet I always feel bad when agents would meet me and I have nothing to offer so I figured since I want to become an agent and investor anyway it might be useful to take the course even though I can’t take the state exam until I’m 18.

@George Lay I recently switched up my classes for the incoming school year and I’m taking college accounting, ap macroeconomics and a bunch more that is more in line with what I want to do for my future so I actually find this incoming school year to be exciting. Thanks for the response!

@Katie Miller I appreciate that advice, I started journaling and definitely will write down milestones along the way. Regarding passion, I’ve been learning and doing stock trading for over 2 years and have made decent money and is something I definitely would love to pursue and don’t mind doing a lot. I’ll talk to more investors in my area to get a clearer perspective. Thanks so much!

I’m currently 16 and having a rough time between pursuing my investing goals or going to college. I get that it is possible to do both at the same time but I find great joy in analyzing stocks and analyzing real estate deals on Zillow. I could spend 24 hours of everyday analyzing stocks or analyzing real estate deals but I cannot stand school. Would it be a terrible decision to not go to college? If my goal was to make 20k in passive income, is it unrealistic of me to think that I can do it without a college degree?

Thank you so much for providing that perspective! Hope you find further success in investing!

@Stephen Brown

I appreciate that so much! I looked over your profile and saw that you’re a real estate agent, I also look forward to taking a license test soon, hopefully becoming an agent will help be build connections with other investors in my area! Thanks for the advice ill definitely keep in touch!

Let’s totally do it! I’m very interested to learn from you!

I’ve been reading books and watching videos on real estate investing for almost 2 years now. I’ve grown an insane obsession about it and am really interested in getting started. I’ve done some easy ones such as becoming an authorized user with someone that has good credit, and I also plan on attending some real estate meetups in my area once covid starts to get more tamed and I don’t plan on stopping reading and learning about rental property investing. I’ve been told that I’m gonna regret pursuing this route and become a failure by many friends and family but I still think it’s something I can find success in and actually enjoy. Do you guys have any advice on what I can do now to better prepare myself?
