I agree with @Rich Ng.  

I have a pretty tight budget.I am newbie when it comes to this subject but I have been researching and also downloaded several books that I think will help (Rich Dad Poor Dad, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, E-Myth Revisited, among others).

I know lots of fat rich guys.

Anyways, I digressRight before my mom past, she said " READ RICH DAD POOR DAD, BUT ignore the financing part!

Like many other people, I was first inspired to study real estate investing when I listened to the Rich Dad Poor Dad audiobook by Robert Kiyosaki.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, and it's great that you are getting involved in RE at a young age, but you need to be realistic and understand that real estate investing is not a get rich quick scheme, it is a slow (but reliable) way to attain wealth over time.

He has spent the last year within the Rich Dad consulting program.  

I don't have any "get rich quick" aspirations.

Florida another etc.the key is to have your transactional funding set up buy the thing then resell it. and or if its OK to blast out on the internet a house for sale you don't own then try that. with the huge amount of info at one's finger tips and with the guru's pitching this get rich with none of your own money and what certain folks pitch here on BP you now have many more folks out there trying to do the same thing.. many with no experience many with no morals or ethics and consumers are getting hurt.. when that happens they complain and when they complain the states start taking a look..
