Personal Introduction Post

[William Patsalis]

Hello everyone, my name is William Patsalis and I am new to real estate investing. I am 21 and just starting to accumulate knowledge on the basics. I've been listening to the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast for the better part of two months now and have found myself in love with the world of real estate. I look forward to learning more from all of you!

Side note, I am currently a student at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. I'm wondering what would be a better option in approaching housing for the upcoming fall/winter semester. I have two roommates (dependable roommates that I have known for years) lined up so I have been debating on whether it would be a better idea to look for a house to buy and use the rent from the two roommates and myself to pay off the mortgage and instantly generate income or if it would be better to just look for a place to rent until I'm out of college? I know there are a lot of variables that would go into making this decision but I have a decent amount of savings built up and I was just looking for some advice. Any help is appreciated!
