Great responses here so far, go through these and take note on the ones you see reoccurring.

I’m going to take a slightly different approach here and say to do most of the things people have mentioned like building credit and working as much as you can to pay down debt obligations. However, don’t forget to enjoy yourself in college. I just graduated from college in 2018 and can tell you that I connected with many of my mentors (and even my boss who hired me) through unconventional ways and having a quality social life was the reason for that. If you haven’t read ‘the alchemist’ I would recommend it. If real estate investing is your personal “legend” then you should be relentless and you will get there. Just don’t misinterpret that path as being a straight line. Feel free to connect with me on this if you’d like to talk more on the subject. Best of luck.

@John Reardon agreed with most of the input here. If the areas of Ohio are doing well where your friend is investing take a trip out to his/her market. If you like the numbers you see online and what you see in person, leverage that friendship you have with them and go in as a partner on a deal or two and use their resources. That’s a quick way to get a feel for the market with less risk and you get access to their (presumably good) local connections.

Hey everyone! If you are an owner or manager of a decent size SFR or MFR portfolio (between 50-500ish) what platform do you use to tie all of your information together (such as excel spreads, quickbooks, buildium/yardi etc)? In my research, it seems like the real successful ones are heavily targeting commercial real estate such as Waypoint or Stratfolio.

Any advice?
