Beginning Real Estate as a Student

[Isaac Pyle]

Hello everyone!

I am 19, and going into my sophomore year in college. I am also wanting to begin investing in real estate. The markets around where I live are high in price and rising (doubled in the past 5 years in many nearby places from what I can see), and I want to get in as soon as possible. Does anyone have any advice for me as far as being a student while investing goes? My plan right now is to look for a duplex with which I would rent out one side and live in the other, but any advice that you have for me is appreciated. Thanks!!
