I am 17 and still in high school. I’ve gained interest in real estate and know I want to own my own business. How can I start now as a junior in high school to work towards owning and operating a succesful real estate development business. I would like to be operating on a scale that Donal Trump does one day.

Contact some local developers and ask if you can work there as an intern (unpaid) just to gain experience. I work in commercial real estate and there is a lot to learn. I’ve been doing this for 15+ years and I’m still learning new stuff. If you can gain experience in each area like construction, financial modeling, negotiating and real estate law it will give you a more well rounded education that you’ll need to be successful in your own business. Good luck and when you’re a big, rich, successful developer don’t forget me, I may come to you lookin for a job
