How to start investing as a broke college student with bad credit

Ronnie Terry

Posted
I am a 21 year old college student that has completely supported himself, financially, for the past 4 years. This has left me with very little money, and I too do not have the best credit. I will be graduating this upcoming spring, and will be moving onto a position that will provide me with a bit of financial stability (at least compared to where I am now). Is real estate investing even a reality for me at this point, and if so, how should I go about investing?

Thank you, @Caleb Heimsoth . I didn't have intentions on investing prior to graduating. I was just attempting to get some advice on some practical ways to put myself in a position to invest within the next 2 years.

By far the two best things to do that are a steady w2 job and little other debt and good credit score.  I bought my first property a year out of school.  Very doable
