19 Year old college student looking for advice

[John McCreery]

Hey everyone,

I’m currently a 19 year old college student looking to get started in the real estate market. I have the majority of my money saved in the stock market and I’m looking to expand. I am going into the Army after college and thought about buying property around military bases. I figured it’s usually cheaper and their will almost always be tenants. My big idea is buying properties, and having the rent pay the mortgage payments, then after 10-15 years, the money from the property would be straight profit. I know almost nothing about real estate and would appreciate and advice. Thanks!
