@Jody Schnurrenberger HAI! Nice to meet you once again LOL! From how much we've known so far, I can see you be successful so far. You are so motivated when it comes to real estate and you learn so much everyday! Big respect to you!  

@Mike Dymski Now that is the type of answer I was looking for. Simple yet gave me a good laugh. 

@Michael Boyer Thank you for sharing! After looking at all the comments here, it seems that prior to investing, people did have some form of steady income (I know it's obvious). And It has made me felt that, I as a college student, is thinking way too ahead of myself (it could be a good or a bad thing). Maybe I should focus on finishing my studies first, get a decent and then start talking about investing. It seems like a fair procedure. What do you think? 

@Jay Hill Ayy! That must mean you are doing so well with this real investing! Congrats! 

@Account Closed I really hope I come to your shoe one day, and say it with such eloquence as you have done.

@Jordan Moorhead That is so cool! I wonder if you could technically manage both things at the same time but I suppose that's a lot to ask for. But Whatever it is, you did started out with a decent income in your savings! GOod luck! 

@Anthony Gayden Big respect to you my man! I am also working hard and have a desire to purchase 1 real estate in few months. So how would you say your wealth now, that youre in the real estate business?

@Account Closed Thank you for sharing that with us! That is so inspiring. I am in a similar boat as you. I am also a poor immigrant who came to NYC 7 years ago.
Currently in college studying Applied Mathematics.  I really hope that I do land a job with a good pay that will one day finance my real estate investing dream. 

Did you always had an eye out for investing when you were working in a financial firm? or is that something that you sought out when were working in the field?

I am really curious as to what kind of background most people were before they started working.  For example, Were you in a high paying job? or did you owned a business? or were you just a college student like me who barely made money?

Hi my fellow New Yorker! :)
Thank you so much for your input! Where do you generally find REI club meetings? I am new to this.

@Bryan Pham Hi! I'd be definitely okay with turnkey property but wouldnt that be expensive? I could also be creative and look at fix/flip but that would seem more work unless I do find a team in that area. 

I am looking for a multi-family house needing only cosmetics changes so I can fully budget my numbers properly.

@joel florek were you still working in your new job when you graduated from college? Do you need to be working in jobs for Banks to approve of your financing?

I would really like to know what the competition or hurdles that newbies like me have to face against the seasoned investors? For example;  Sure, I can do all the homework and be extremely accurate with my numbers, but will there be a time where I would totally be ignored just because of nonexistence portfolio?
