Hi! Real estate can be an exciting and lucrative field! I suggest going to open houses in your area to get a feel for the process and to ask the agent questions. You can also research and begin studying the material for the licensing tests and requirements. Real estate can be inconsistent, so you'll need strong budgeting skills to save for slower periods.

Trey, Real Estate has always been an interesting field for me. While you may be too youg to register for a license you may be able to begin preparation and learn a little more about the field. I would start by going to your library or book store. I am sure you will find what you need as far as material there. I would also suggest reaching out to a realtor or real estate office and let them know of your interest. They may give you some insight on what a real estate career is like day to day. I hope this helps and I wish you much success

That's a great question. I think there are many things you can do outside of taking courses - maybe find a real estate book which explains key concepts, factors that drive real estate prices, rental markets. If you're interest is more corporate that individual investing, you can also learn about the investment management individuals, terms like cap rates, different real estates sectors such as office, multi-family, industrial, etc and what drives investment into those. I'd also encourage you to network or "interview" people in the industry to learn what they do and get their perspectives. Good luck!
