College Student Looking to Invest
Hello everyone! I am a 21-year old, rising senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have a keen interest on starting my real estate investment journey, and I want to learn by doing. However, I am not sure where I will end up after college - it all depends on where I take a full-time offer (in real estate). Would you recommend holding off on investing until I know where I will be living? Right now I'm in North Carolina but could end up anywhere, and I don't want my first property to be out-of-state. Any advice would help, as I'm eager to get started!

@Tasha Beal, I would hold off until you get your first job and know where you will be. I strongly suggest you read @Scott Trench's book "Set for Life" now and follow his thoughts.
He will give you great advice on getting ready to get your life style and finances inorder to proceed into your first REI property as well how to locate a property to house hack relative to your new employment. A Great Read, well thought out and written.
That should get you off on the best foot possible.
Good Luck.
Cheers,
Buddy
