Hello I live in las vegas, nv and I would like to be a real estate investor?

But im young and still going to college . What advice would you have for me and where could I get more information about real estate investing . Thanks

resell lease to purchase contracts. no money is needed and you make 10-15k for every flip.

Contact the office of a R.E. firm who you would like to do business with. They can direct you to the best course of study to get your R.E. license. Many companies will even help you with your training. If you don't want to get a license, and just want to invest in R.E., tell them that. With the market right now, they will be happy to guide you through the steps to being a successful investor.

You're never to young to invest in real estate!!! I honestly know people who's kids are buying and selling real estate (with parents help and financing) at a very young age. The way I got into real estate investing was through Rich Dad Poor Dad. Robert Kiyosaki is the author of many great books including Rich Dad Poor Dad that teach you how to invest and having the right mindset. It's a must read for someone looking to get into real estate investing. You also should google real estate investment clubs for your area. You will be amazed by how many you will find. Start going and you will meet many investors in your area and most are willing to teach eager people just beware of people only looking for "bird dogs." A bird dog is where you find good deals and pass them on to the investor to make all the money. Yes you need to start off somewhere but make sure they are teaching you how to invest instead of just using you! Feel free to contact me via my website at www.ppcbuyshomes.com and I can give you numerous sources on where to start! Best of luck on your new venture!

Young is the best of best times to get into investing! I wish I had the drive to be interested in this when I was young!
I belong to a group that is in Vegas that would take you under their wing to get you investing on the right track.
If you want some information from a very successful student e-mail me and we can talk about it.

I started investing when I was 23. As long as your financially stable I would first get educated. There are plenty of sites out there that can help you. I run my own real estate investing business blog at http://www.georgiabuyer.com that you might be interested in. There are also plenty of forums and information out there. You just need to sort through whats real and whose out to just sell something. So take your time and educate yourself first.

Next to education, Networking is the most important thing that you can do. My business took off after I networked with a lot of the local area investors and other professionals in my area. Look for local real estate investing clubs and groups. Look for local investors who might be willing to help you.

If you've educated yourself on how to find a good deal and you've done your networking you should find a possible deal and take it to one of your investors. See if they would partner up with you (which you should be able to find one to do this if you've been good about networking) or at least pay you a fee for finding that property.

I would start with a plan of making real estate investing as a supplement to your inital income with a long term plan of going full time if you want. You should be able to go full time within a 5 year time frame pretty easy.

Thats not to say you can't just jump in fulltime and since you are young like I was you might try that. If you have the right connections it can work but its a tougher road to travel particularly in a slower selling market. So don't fall for any of the get rich informercials. Real estate will make you wealthy but you have to make a plan and work it.
