Advice for a 20 year old college student looking to get into REI

[Nicholas Patrick]

I am a college student in the detroit suburbs looking to graduate in a few years. I do not have crippling student loan debt, but expect a small amount. Something in the ball park of 10k, probably. I am majoring in finance, and will probably end up as an analyst or something. I really want to own a real estate investing business instead.

I want to get into real estate investing as soon as possible. I only have about 3k in my bank account at this point. I believe I am lacking the funds to start investing, unfortunately. I really don't know anyone that's investing personally, so I can't even break in that way. Also, I'm really not that "handsy", and able to work on plumbing, electrical, ect. It's almost as if I have nothing to offer.

On top of that, I am unable to land an internship related to my career interests. This makes me nervous for when I graduate and try to find a full time job. This makes me want to start my investing business as soon as possible.

I'm really just looking for some guidance and advice. Any advice about anything would be appreciated. Thank you.
