Hello there! It's truly commendable that you're showing such curiosity while still in high school. I would advise you to begin collecting information from diverse sources. Dive into some books on both commercial and residential real estate. Alongside books, why not explore the internet for how real estate investments are evaluated?
Creating a LinkedIn profile could be another positive step. It would allow you to connect with professionals in the real estate industry. Lastly, if you're considering college, it would be beneficial to know which institutions offer real estate as a major or minor. This could provide you with an opportunity to further your education and establish connections within the industry. Keep going - you're on the right track!

I concur with Felicia's earlier comment! Find a local real estate agency and make a point to introduce yourself in person. Share your enthusiasm for the real estate sector and inquire about any potential roles or tasks you could perform for them. This could also be a great opportunity to gain insight into how to prepare for a real estate licensing exam in your state in the future. I would also suggest beginning to establish relationships with staff at nearby banks and independent mortgage firms. Cultivating these relationships and networks will prove beneficial in the long run, as they could potentially provide referrals once you become an active agent.

Find a mentor in the Real Estate profession and share your interest. There are quite a few roles you can have without a Real Estate License. Once there, soak up as much as you can.
