Real Estate while in College

[Kate Oliver]

Hi I’m a sophomore first generation student who took a gap semester to learn more about real estate and invest in my real estate education. ***For you college investors/agents out there, what have you been doing and from your experience does my plan sound viable? How does a college student from a low income family borrow to invest, etc. I’m looking for some confirmation and evidence. *** While I am getting my sales agent license (taking the test in a week) for the pure sake of access to numbers, I still want to invest in properties while helping out families along the way. I’ve made the decision that I will do everything I can while in school towards building my brand as an investor and agent, I’ve decided I want to own and rent out a property at least by the time I graduate. A lender once told me it’s never too early to apply for a home loan, so why not? My plan is to make at least 10 percent of the purchase price through my work as an agent. But this is something I’ve never seen anyone do before, barely anyone I’ve met in the industry are college students. ****For you college investors/agents out there, what have you been doing and from your experience does my plan sound viable?
