Should I get my MBA before I buy Multifamily?

[Alex Hawk]

I am 17 and I am obsessed with learning more to become financially free through Multifamily investing. My parents want me to get an MBA but I don't think that I need that to be a successful Multifamily investor. I want to build a strong team used to manage and grow my portfolio. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi Alex. You're 17 think about getting your bachelor's first if that's the route you want to go. As someone has their MBA I thought it was a great ROI for myself. One of the questions I have is why can't you do both? If you start a multi family what's stopping you from going to school at the same time. Also I recommend working a bit before getting your MBA that way you can relate to some of the topics discussed. I'll also leave you with some comments from my real estate friends from MBA school. Most can't remember what they learned in school but many built awesome relationships and client lists based on school.

What ever path you choose I wish you the best of luck.
