Will I have the time?

Benjamin Eccles

Hello all,

I am wondering as a full time student, if I will have the time available to start investing in buy and hold real estate? My classes take up the majority of my morning and early afternoon, then of course I have to spend time outside of class studying. I consider myself a pretty motivated person and I love to be busy doing things but I just don't know the time commitment I'm making. 

My plan is to buy student housing around my university, because I feel as though I have a market advantage being that I know exactly what students are looking for. I would definitely be looking for a management company or property manager to handle the day to day things, what is left for me to deal with? Will I be spending 2 hours a day, 2 hours a week, or 2 hours a month on my investment properties?

Thank you for any information you can provide!
