Starting Out College Student

[Jason R. Besanceney]

Good afternoon, I'm reaching out today trying to get some advice on where I should begin my real estate journey, I've been listening to the podcast for a while now and want to get some skin in the game but am unsure how to start. Any recommendations of what I should do or how I should begin my journey? Would love to hear so thoughts on this. Also is there anyone in the area that I could connect with, I would love to learn from someone nearby or someone that knows the market I'm in. Thanks for the feedback and am looking forward to reading through the responses.

I would try to get a house hack in place as soon as you can. This is where you buy a property, single family or up to 4 units, single family will probably be easier as a student and then rent out space to help cover the cost of your mortgage. For most people this is the best first investment to make as it helps you reduce your living expense while giving you real estate and landlord experience. If you want you can reach out to the David Greene team to get working with someone. I am also happy to help you find and then refer you to a great agent in the area you are looking to help you with this if you send me a private message. You are starting at the right time! I bought my first property during undergrad and now have 12 doors!
