How Do I Get Started Right Out of College OR In College?

[Braden Taylor]

Hello all!

I am currently a sophomore in college going for a double major in accounting and finance. I recently discovered the "real estate realm" and I am incredibly interested and fascinated. My question is there any way that a college student can start investing? And if not, how do I get started as soon as I have graduated? Also, I've heard about loans where you only have to put a 3.5% dp. It seems too good to be true, but could someone indulge me on that as well? I know very little about all the possibilities out there so feel free to list off some tips and tricks. I already have a feeling that most of the comments are going to swim around the lines of, "Focus on school first" or "Learn as much as you can while you're young." I just want to say for the record that I am putting school as a priority for now and that I am trying to learn as much as possible on this subject. I just want to know if there are ways to get started ASAP.

Thanks in advance!
