How Can College Students Start Investing in Real Estate!

[Dylan Wells]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Dylan Wells and I am currently a senior at the University at Albany majoring in Accounting as well as Business Administration with concentrations in Finance and Management. Upon completing my undergraduate degree I will be pursuing my Masters in Taxation in addition to sitting for the CPA examination. After graduate school, I have accepted a position to work for PricewaterhouseCoopers specifically in the area of International Taxation. Real Estate has always been something that has fascinated me ever since taking up my first job as an assistant project manager at a local roofing company called Titan Roofing. While I may not be good at swinging a hammer, the idea of being able to accumulate multiple properties to subsidize my monthly expenses and practically live for free has always been a dream of mine. I currently have $15,000 saved up right now and I am looking to make a play into the world of real estate. My question for the BiggerPockets community is how can a college student leverage their money and get into real estate without investing in REIT's or Mortgage Notes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
