20 yr old student, new to the game

[Steve Chenoweth]

Hey everybody,

My name's Steve, I'm a 20 year old college student from Philadelphia, full time, and for the past year or so I've been reading stuff on real estate investing, mainly buy and hold material. I really don't have much capital to invest as of now, so I've been looking into a number of no money down techniques. I was wondering if anybody had any advice for me about any of the following subjects: buy and hold, foreclosures, rehabbing/flipping, nothing down, mobile homes, tax benefits, management techniques, cash flow, or anything else.

I want to get a really big jump on this industry because I know it holds a lot of potential for success. I am very serious about this industry, and I assume many of you are, and I'm certainly not in it for the short term. And as a college student, it's very difficult to invest, because I don't have a full time job or a whole lot of savings. I'm looking for as much help as I can find on getting started within the next year. If anybody would care to post on this thread, or link me to any previous posts, I would very much appreciate your feedback. Thank you for taking the time to read my thread!

Steve C.
