Find a local mentor or someone' who is doing the kind of real estate transactions you want to be able to do and intern with them. Learn how to do the legwork from them. After watching a few transactions, see if you can invest a few thousand in a transaction in one of their transactions with them as a jr. partner, to see if you really have the stomach for it. Consider what ever you invest is in some since put at risk. ... My main piece of advice is don't risk more than you afford to lose. This is true for any 'investments', real estate, stocks, options, etc, etc. Also don't 'chase a deal'. There will always be another deal coming by sooner or later. So if it seems 'to good to be true', it probably is. After a while you will develop a 'gut feel' for the deal. Once you get experience to see if you should follow your gut or not, then you can go for it. I have had friends that tried to 'avoid the tax man'. Don't do that. Keep ALL transactions above board. Pay the tax man what is due (even if it seems like an undue chunk of change). That includes local, state, and feds. As a younger person, I will not tell you that you are 'to young'. My suggestions above are to help you get the experience and understanding. I hope this helps, and I am glad to see someone wanting to be a go-getter!
