Advice on college education?
Hello all,
I’m going to be in college next year and I’m trying to decide what I want to major in. My goals as a real estate investor is to create wealth by flipping SFH. I am stuck between majoring in:
-Business
-Finance
-Construction
I feel like these will benefit me the most in my upcoming years as a real estate investor.
Thanks,
John

Personally, I think any of these would be a great way to jump in. Are you interested in future development or more crunching numbers? If you are looking to do future development consider construction, but if you are more interested in learning the ROI for properties finance will help you cover basics. You could always major in something like finance and then intern with a construction company during college. That way you get a bit of both. Hope this helps!
