College kid with $10k to invest. What do I do?

[Nathan Roodzant]

Hello!

My name is Nathan Roodzant. I am 18 years old and just finished my first semester at the United States Naval Academy. I am extremely interested in getting into the Real Estate investing world, yet am confronted with the fact that I am a college student with very little time and income, and will be graduating and commissioning into a full time job in the military in less than 4 years. I have saved up and am wanting to invest around $5000-$10000 in something that will give me a much higher return on investment than just letting it sit in a bank. What would you recommend?
