Dental Student wants to start real estate portfolio

Michael LaRocca
Posted

Hi All,

My name is Mike, I'm from New York i'm 22 years old and I'm attending Dental School in the fall. Before I venture off onto the next steo in my academic career I want to start my real estate investing career by purchasing a commercial or residential (maybe house hack close to school) and i was hoping some of you could offer some advice as to how/ where to get started. I have some money to put down for a down payment as well as a partner willing to split it with me. I was thinking of utilizing the FHA loans or the 203K loan if the property can use some work. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks Everyone!

Hello Michael,

Downers Grove has 3 train stops that run to Chicago with express trains. That is one thing people always liked. The northern side of our town tends to have more higher end properties being closer to the business districts in Oak Brook. Lots of commercial developments around yorktown mall near Midwestern University and new apartment complexes and condo units put up in our downtown area the within the past two years. Lifelong resident of Downers, welcome to our town.
