Is wholesaling my only option as a broke college student?

[Desmond Fitch]

Hey BP,

I want to begin my real estate journey and throughout the last few months I’ve been educating myself as much as I can. Wholesaling seems to be the best place to start as it typically requires less capital than other strategies. I’m very interested in working with rental properties but I do not have enough saved up and getting a loan as a college student is unlikely.

Would wholesaling be my best bet for raising capital and then branching out into other strategies later down the road?

It's an option, but it's far from the only option. 

To be very clear- wholesaling is not an investment strategy. It's a job. It requires less capital because it's not investing.

Wholesaling will teach you a lot about real estate, but at the end of the day it's just a job. You can work any job to save the money while you learn about REI... if wholesaling isn't all that appealing.

Maybe one of those help?
