Interested In Real Estate

[J Y]

Hey guys I'm a second year college student whos beginning to show some interest in real estate. The problem is, aside from knowing that a lot of money can be earned if done properly, I pretty much am ignorant in this field. If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I'd very much appreaciate it :cool:

I never knew there's so much to it. I always thought it would be something like:

Buy a house at price X
Rent it out at Price Y
Reap profits

I didnt know there so many legal stuff that you have to go through and so on. Or am i just overthinking?

And real estate agents are people who help owners trying to sell/rent out their house find tenants. But is the real estate agent required at all? Can the owner just do it himself?

Also does real estate have to be a full time thing? Or can it be one that takes very minimal time once started.

Sorry for the ignorance, like i said im new but im learning :wink:
