I say join the military as an officer. Military pays for schooling. Stay in for atleast 1 enlistment, go to school, and use the VA loan to buy your 4 plex. No down payment needed. Also you get paid so much as an officer. Most of your pay is not taxable. Save your money up and buy more properties while you are serving in the military. Also, you can get other benefits if you speak another language. Promise I am am not a military recruiter I just think that anyone who has a degree and no job yet desires a job should definitely consider joining. Most people who had some prior knowledge of investing in real estate while serving in the military buy properties at each duty station. Why? Because you are only required to live in in your permanent residence. Well if your military career takes you to another area you can use the VA loan again to buy a new house. Isn't that awesome. I would love to talk to you more about investing while serving in the military. If you would like to learn more just let me know. Just like Andrew said there is nothing stopping you from Investing in Real Estate while you are in school. Actually I'd recommend it. House hacking is gold if you don't mind roommates. I hope to hear from you soon.
