Investing in College
Hey, I am currently in college right now but love checking out real estate investment properties and really anything to do with real estate. With me being a full time student its tough to really invest in a rental home or some kind of rental property. Are there any suggestions on other ways to invest in real estate besides REITs in college? I have also seen a lot about crowd funding real estate investment firms and if anyone has dealt with them, are they any good?
Thanks,
Sam

Concentrate on your education there will be more then enough time to invest after you graduate and are established in your career choice.
Investing is very high risk. You do not want to be derailed from your education due to a bad turn of events.
