What would you do at age 20?

Happy Sunday!

I heard this question on the latest BP podcast (#435) today and thought what better place to ask it than on the forums:

If you were me, a 20 year old in college, what are five (or more/less) things you would do right now? It can range from real estate to general life experiences to anything!

I’m excited to see what everyone has to say, thanks!

@Cole Britting

1. Live up the college life as much as you can, while keeping your grades up (you are only young once)

2. Pick a major that will help you get a high paying job upon graduation

3. Learn as much as you can about real estate investing- how to analyze properties- requirements to qualify for a mortgage-study geographical locations and their markets to determine where the best deals are

4. Get a part time job and a small credit card to work on your credit score

5. Create your real estate plan, guide, wish list- whatever you want to call it.  A plan that you can follow to meet your goals in real estate.

I have two kids your age in university.  I have given them both advice 1 and 2, they have no interest in real estate but if they were I would be giving them 3,4,and 5 also
