Steps to take while still in school
I will be graduating college in May of 2020 with a degree in Engineering. I am very interested in REI in order to start building passive income as soon as possible. I'm not sure exactly where I'll go after graduation but it could in theory be anywhere in the US. I'm most interested in house hacking to start and transitioning to more rental properties(especially small multi family).
A while back I heard the BP podcast talk about the “wash the truck” analogy and I loved the idea of those small achievable actionable steps. I read fairly regularly and listen to several podcasts.
What are some other actionable steps I can be taking now? Once I graduate and settle somewhere I plan to begin investing but in the meantime I’m trying my best not to remain idle. I figure education is probably the main thing I can work on but are there any specific concepts I should be diving into?
