College Student Getting Into Real Estate Investing
Hey everyone, I'm a student at the University of South Florida, Tampa. A few weeks ago I went to a REI class with one of my friends. Reading on biggerpockets I see that was a bit of scam, but I still learned some from it. My friend and I have their Real Estate Elite software now, so according to them I can see a lot of valuable data.
From everything I've read I think the best/only way I could get into REI now would be wholesaling. Is that feasible for a college student to do? Is there anything else I could do that would be better? My major is mechanical engineering, so in the future I won't have a ton of free time to work on it, but I could easily spend 10+ hours a week on it if it is something that I could do.
I live in Pittsburgh PA but am down in Tampa now for college, so that would be the best area for me to start I think.
Thanks
Justin

Hey @Account Closed I'm a local wholesaler in Pittsburgh with over 70+ wholesale deals done. Wholesaling is one of the best ways to get involved in the real estate business. You can build capital while learning about your local market and real estate was a whole. I'm looking for strategic partners myself to help with my wholesale business. Lets connect and talk more.
