Is there a such thing as too soon?

[Aaron Ward]

Hello all, 

While working at UPS' part time graveyard shift to pay for school I religiously listen to self-development and real-estate audio books. My favorite so far is Set For Life by Scott Trench! With this being said, I just have one question for you knowledgeable folks out there. 

Following Scott Trench's game-plan for early financial freedom:

1. Living frugally 

2. Building a financial runway of half the U.S' average yearly salary 

3. Scaleable Career* (still working on)

4. Real Estate Investing* 

Is it possible/wise to purchase a cash flowing multi-family house hack, while still in college?

If not what should be my plan moving forward to close on a multi-family property within the next 1-2 years?

Welcome, Aaron! So glad that you joined BP and liked Set for Life. I'm a big fan of that book as well :). 

I think it is very possible to purchase a house-hack while in college, but you will most likely need help from Mom and Dad to qualify for the mortgage and co-sign, unless you have a long history of making income or some unusual circumstances!
