RE Investment Beginner Advicr

Nick Ureta
Posted

Hello,

I am a current graduate student who is receiving financial aid to complete my masters program. After seeing the excess amount of aid I’ve been granted, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to put that aid towards acquiring my first property.

Has anyone ever done this before? Are there better ideas for starting out?

I would like to avoid using credit cards but I am still open to that option if that makes sense. Please feel free to share your ideas and thoughts. Thank you in advance!
