Was hoping to get a little advice, Im not in any hurry right now but if there are things I can set in motion right now I would appreciate if people could "open my eyes" :).

Hi guys, heres the scenario:

I live in Edmonton, Alberta and I'm a 21 year old finishing up my first year in college and working part-time (unfortunately thats the only option for college students it seems). I have been told by my credit card company (Bank of Montreal Mosaic Mastercard) that I have a lot of fame with them because I always pay my bills ahead of time and usually I round up and pay more then what I owe. I Have $5000 in investments that can easily be recovered and I will be getting a summer job (not sure where a this point, trying to get an accounting internship).

Is there any way I can get in on the booming economy without dropping out of school and becoming a tradesman?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm new here and am a college student in Edmonton, Alberta. I look forward to all the things I can learn from you all.

Oh and I'm probably a few years away from coming close to owning a property :( but hey, eventually Ill get there :)

Congratulations man, Im a student in Edmonton, Alberta doing first year of college. I've read about buying property with 0 down but I've never done it before. A lot of my buddies are tradesmen so they have enough money that banks will lend them cash to buy condos. One of my friends put down roughly $10,000 and had made $100,000 in a couple months.

Do you think there's any hope for a college student (who saves his shoddy part-time wages :)) to get in on the housing action or is it too late?
