Hey everyone, I am completely new to real estate investing. I listen to the BiggerPockets podcast pretty regularly and have started picking up some books to read. Big fan! 

Just a little background info about me I am a 22 year old full time graduate student and a full time faculty member at my university in East Texas. I am working towards my masters in professional accountancy to obtain my CPA license. However, I love real estate! In particular multi family homes have really caught my eye. Since I am a noob at this can anyone help me with a couple questions I have?

-  How can I build my credit without obtaining a credit card? Can I enter the market with little to no credit?

- Are college towns a good space for beginners to enter?

- Where can I meet mentors and gain a more hands on approach? 

- What is the recommended price point (savings) that would give me enough to purchase an investment and still have a cushion? 

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps! 

Hey guys,

I am brand new to bigger pockets and real estate investing. I am currently a graduate student working towards obtaining my CPA license in Texas, but my biggest interest is becoming financially free by doing real estate.

If anyone can give me some advice on questions I have, I would deeply appreciate it:

How can I build my credit without using a credit card?
What ways can I enter the market with little to no credit?
Are college towns a good market for the BRRR method?

Thanks
