House Hacking While in College

[Josh Knutson]

I am 18 and going off to college next year, and I want to get started building a portfolio as soon as possible, but don't know where to start. 

After reading through a lot of these forums I've come to the conclusion that house hacking is one of the best strategies for a first property. Is this possible to do while in college or should I wait until I graduate? Has anyone out there done a house hack while in college and have tips for me?
