Getting Starting with Real Estate as a College Student

[Alex Eagens]

Hey all!

First time posting on the Bigger Pockets forums, but I have been listening to the Bigger Pockets Podcast all the time when I am in the car and have become really interested and passionate about real estate.

I am currently in college as a junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering with about 3 semesters left of school, and I always hear professionals saying that investing in real estate and putting your money to work is a very wise idea. I really want to get started on this; however, my funds are fairly low due to being in college and only being able to work about 2 days a week during the semester at a grocery store. If anyone has any tips or is was in a similar situation that could share with me the best way to get started or at least prepare for when I do graduate, that would be amazing!

Thank you!
