Real estate investing is a long game, just like anything that promises wealth and riches at the end of a long toil.

I don´t know any rich people who can lend me money.. 

Information can never make you rich unless you take action. 

Don't spend all your capital or go in debt at some get rich quick seminar. 

There is a great book on this topic called ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ written by Robert Kiyosaki.

@Rich Stancato can you share average price ranges for a not-over-the-top STR in some of those areas?

Facebook is good for empty calories.

It's not making me rich, but I'm hoping to just grow my business in volume.

I have been reading up on forums, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and other books on how real estate investing works, but I still haven't been able to find any good information on what I can do as a 16 year old to get started and build connections with people in the profession.

Now, my goal in cultivating those relationships isn't simply to find money to deploy for real estate/business ventures, but to learn from highly successful mentors and ultimately feed off their success while giving back as much as I can free of charge (that's all I've done in my local community since starting.)My question is; where is the best place/online business groups/networking events or places rich people hang out in general that I should be visiting to start growing my business network?
