Hi! I have been reading threads on BP for a while and finally decided to make a profile :)

I am currently studying math, stat and econ and am going to be a senior at Rutgers. I lived off-campus for 2 years which is what initially got me interested in real estate. I hope to buy a multifamily unit and rent it out to college students like myself. I'd like to say I am pretty familiar with loans, mortgages, etc. being that I used to work at a bank and am currently studying for actuary exams, but when it comes to actually purchasing real estate, knowing what is a good deal vs. bad deal.. well, I am a total noob and it all seems pretty daunting. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good books to get me started. I have come across way too many "get rich quick" books that are vague and unhelpful.

Thanks in advance and I look forward to getting to know everyone!
