If I could go back and talk to 18 year old me, I would tell him don't ever, EVER, get into real estate, at least not residential.
I know it's mostly California, but the scum bag tenants, laws, court system, etc don't even come close to making it worth it. Sure, you might end up a millionaire when you retire, but the years and years of putting up with evictions, sob stories about non payment, lies, cheats, stress, problems will mean you probably won't live to enjoy it if you can even remember what joy is at that point.
Maybe commercial real estate, even with the much higher cost of entry, but more likely just invest in dividend growth stocks.
