@Joshua Myers yeah, the only thing is my girlfriend (who I'll be living with) is NOT on board with house hacking haha so it makes it tough. I was just considering mobile homes due to the low capital to start, and just doing it with free time. No rent-to-own, just selling immediately.

@Remington Lyman I'll be on a small salary but mostly commissions graduating in May. Also post-graduation I'll have a roommate which will cut rent. Where do you recommend looking for deals? Just MLS? Also do you recommend looking at FHA loans for the first house hack?

Hi all, 

I'm currently a senior at Ohio State going into commercial brokerage after graduation. I am really interested in investing on the side. I was thinking since I'm not gonna start out with a ton of money from brokerage, I could start small like mobile homes, but my extent of mobile home knowledge comes from the one BP podcast from a couple weeks ago with Tristan Thomas. If anyone could point me in the right direction of where to start that would be awesome. 

Theres a lot of nuances to learn that I don't know enough about. Whether it be how to find a ton of comparable properties, how to estimate rehab/renovation costs, or even where to get the best contractors since I have no skills as a handyman. I'm excited to jump into this huge world of investing and the BP forums as well!
