Starting out

[Drew Konopasek]

I am currently going to be a college freshman, but I am looking down the road and am interested in real estate. I understand it is important to build assets earlier rather than later. My goal is to have $20,000 saved up for a down payment by the time I graduate for college. My sister and parents will each add $15,000 to that amount totaling $45,000 to $50,000. Now I know 4 years down the road is a long time in terms of real estate investing, but I am curious what should be the proper steps to take to ensure that I am ready for real estate investing once I graduate from college. My thoughts right now are to own rentals. What is everyone's opinion on what type of real estate new members should look into?
