Hi, I am currently a college student renting and my lease date ends in the middle of August. The rent where I currently live is going to increase substantially so I am not renewing. My issue is that other places are cheaper, but all start leasing in June. I will have to pay an overlap of 2 monthly rents, and I know I can reduce the amount by subleasing or air bnb. Are there any other creative ways I can turn this into a profit?

Increase your overall capital potential. Take a major that will land you a high paying job. Having more income initially definitely helps get the ball rolling.

Ok thank you for the advice!

I know where your at! And the biggest thing that helped me was networking. In real estate you really learn from the people you know, the more people you know the more you will lean. Also if you find people who truly want to help (I have learned if you are open and honest at RE meetups there will be an abundance of them) they will walk with you on the process and also be very valuable resources later in your RE journey.

Ok thank you! my goal currently is to pick up as much knowledge from people more experienced than me as possible. Great advice

Hi, I am a college student who has more than 2 years left before I graduate and I am interested in any way I can start out. I have been listening to podcasts, reading books, and asking around my town for property managers, REI meetings, and anything I can find for the past 5 weeks. What else is something that I can put my time and energy to that will be worth while?

Congrats William, I think all of us wish we would have started in RE much younger than we did! However, this an absolute marathon, not a sprint. It all depends on what you're going to school for. Do you love your major and you want to do RE on the side, or is RE your thing? I would say is figuring out what you're going to do after college is your primary objective: work at a job and build capital to invest with, or are you going to go directly into RE and work with a brokerage/PM/title company/etc?

Yes my goal is to use my future W-2 job to build capital with. I am a finance and psychology double major and I love both majors. I am looking to be a financial manager, analyst, or go into sales, preferably something like commercial real estate.
