First Investment Idea?
Hello Everyone!
I am currently a college student who lives with my parents and has loans to cover tuition. I will be starting a part-time job this month that pays $250/month after taxes. I have about $3,000 saved up. I was thinking about buying a 4BR $50,000 house and renting out the other three rooms for $500/month. I would then generate $1,500/month in income, of which perhaps $750/month would be profit. I could use this cash flow to pay off my student loans.
Do you see any problems with this plan? Would I be better off just leasing a brand new Camaro?
Thanks!
