Hey! I'm actually in the same boat as well, with a goal to become a millionaire before I'm 30 (4 years left!). I had the incredible fortune to become involved with a group of real estate investors who are building a corporation from the ground up. We have a proprietary system for locating properties, acquiring them, and creating the end-user (the homebuyer). The guys (up to now I've only been the web and graphics designer) have all been working steadily since April and have already accrued several million from multiple investors to be placed in a REIT (real estate investment trust) in the name of the corporation. I learned today that another $250k was secured and we should be able to begin paying salaries by Christmas!

So... I guess my suggestion is that real estate is a great place to start for beginners, as long as you have a great mentor. (I know this is what all the "gurus" say, but it's true! It's just so hard to find...)
