Hello!

I am currently trying to review property/properties everyday and I am facing a similar problem. Did you ever find out anything about this?

Thanks!

Hello!

If they have grants or loans, there is no reason why they should not be able to stay or at least continue to pay rent whether or not they choose to stay. If however, they are paying their way as most students are, they too may have suffered a job loss and therefore a loss of income. Extending the opportunity for them to fill their units with someone else via subletting is a good idea and if they cannot do that, they should not be let out of the contract. 

I hope this helps as I am also a college student!

For me, I am a full time university student and part time server, so my time is somewhat limited. Aside from that, I am lacking funds and knowledge to get started. I am currently reading How to Invest in Real Estate by Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner and I'm listening to podcasts during commuting to educate myself. I am trying to volunteer once a month at one of my local REIAs here in Houston, TX. I am thinking about taking a wholesaling workshop and pursuing that to get started at least with what I do have. I do have that little bit of time extra in my day to day and I'm thinking I could do mailers for pre-foreclosure properties for now with the club owners' guidance.

I found your comment particularly useful, thank you so much! As a full time student and a part time server paying back my Dad for school loans, I find myself in a similar situation as the posed question. Instead of just reading and listening about real estate, I want to really take action. Thank you again!

@Christopher Finn @Nicholas Kangos 

Thank you so much for the feed back everyone! I'll probably get a Facebook business page to help me!

@Nick Britton 

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you!

@Account Closed Does that mean you're investing in social media such as ads on Facebook, or are you referring to just holding a Facebook page and sharing videos?

I am a newer real estate agent and I would like to get the hang of turning profit doing that first, so for now I am just learning about investing while working in the world of real estate. I only want to be an agent for 5-10 years and would like to yield success as an agent and an investor. 

So here is my question; I personally am not the fondest of social media, but it is everywhere. Do you recommend that I create a business Instagram and Facebook?

@Jim Cummings 

Thank you so much for the support! I really appreciate kind words of encouragement always!

@Tyler Johnson

Thank you so much for posting this, even if it was about a year ago.

I am currently a Sophomore at my local community college and I just attained my real estate license.  I want to work as an agent while listening to the podcasts and reading. I feel as though this will help me make some money while learning about the business from both up close and afar. My major is in business marketing or management, I haven't quite decided yet. I too wanted to know how other investors feel about their degrees in terms of how it relates to their investing careers. I have found a lot of valid points both pro and con on the subject. I think I will continue education until I reach my degree. I think it would be beneficial. I have no debt so far, and plan to keep it that way. 

Again, thank you so so much to everyone that has posted! My only question remaining would be for any investors without college education, do you regret not finishing and/or obtaining a college degree?

(If I decide to go for my master's degree, there is a real estate degree program through Texas A & M University, which is only about an hour away, which is why I have decided to continue school. The program focuses on commercial real estate which is what my long term goal is.)
