Real estate while in college

[Ross Hewitt]

I’m a college student and I’m very interested in getting involved in real estate while in school because of the long term wealth it can generate. I was thinking about buying a home as an owner occupant and renting it out to a few friends. I’m trying to soak up as much information as I can about this, as it is a fairly common strategy. I’ve heard the down payment for an owner occupant can be extremely low, but would I need a parent to be a co-signer? Also, I would just like more information about the process of doing this, so article, video, or book recommendations would be greatly appreciated along with general advice. Thanks
