Hey Jonathan, I appreciate your insights into real estate wholesaling. Given my current situation as a second-year college student working part-time, I would like to ask about additional steps I can take to further my education or learning experience in the real estate field. Besides attending meetups, should I focus on reading specific real estate books or consider investing my resources at this stage? My main question is would it be advisable to start by diving in and learning through hands-on experience as I go? or is there a more proper approach you would recommend?

Any insights you could offer would be deeply appreciated. Thank you for your time.

 Hey Jorge, I really appreciate you taking your time and providing key information about wholesaling. As a second-year college student currently working part-time, I am exploring potential entry points into real estate such as wholesaling, real estate investment, and fix and flip. My goal is to start gaining some experience during my time in college and to invest more heavily after graduation.

Given my current position, do you recommed pursuing wholesaling, or do you believe another area of real estate might be more suitable? Additionally, would it be better to specialize in one area early on and stick with it post-graduation, or should I explore different sectors before committing to a specific path?

Thank you again for your time and advice, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I am not sure where to look for local meetings. Facebook groups, I have found one in the same state but not near me. I have been listening to biggerpockets podcast and youtube videos to really try to grasps the general idea of real estate.

Hello, All!

I hope you're all doing well. I am 19, and currently a second-year college student pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting. I’m also working part-time and plan to continue my job after graduation to save up enough capital to start investing in real estate. I’ve always had a passion for real estate and dream of owning properties someday, and I plan to invest more time in this field after I graduate.

I’m particularly interested in starting off with wholesaling as a way to enter the real estate market with minimal capital. If there are other or better methods to consider, please let me know! My ultimate goal is to transition into real estate investing, focusing on rental properties and possibly house hacking as my next step after wholesaling.

Given my current position, I’d love to hear your thoughts and advice on where I should start. Here are a few specific questions I have:

1. 1) What steps should I take to begin? Is wholesaling a good first step for gaining experience? What can I do as a college student working part-time?
2. 2) What main skills or knowledge should I focus on acquiring right now that would be beneficial for my current and future real estate investments?
3. 3) Are there any common pitfalls I should be aware of as a beginner in wholesaling and real estate investing?
4. 4) What are some effective ways to build a network and connect with realtors to establish valuable connections?

I’m open to all suggestions and insights, so please feel free to share your experiences or any advice you think would be helpful. Thank you in advance for your support!
