How to invest sooner?

[Ethan Tomlinson]

Hello! My name is Ethan, I am a brand new college student and I have been kind of stunned by what I have heard on BP, as I have listened and read books through High School. One thing that is common amongst all the podcasts and books is that its always said the beginning is the hardest, the first deal is the hardest. I want to do an FHA loan, except for the fact that I don't have the few year span of tax documents needed to get a bank loan. I know it's possible to have a parent cosign, but is it also possible to just find off market deals? I forget the name for it but it's when the owner sells the property to you directly and they basically become the "bank". Hopefully this question makes sense. I am just itching to do something about my life with real estate so I can start changing the lives of those around me.

Thank you for any replies!
