If you want to work for an institutional investor or have any desire to play in the middle market or above [which the best way to do the latter is to have worked at for an institutional shop] then a degree is a requirement and if you want to work at the shops that do the most interesting deals [family offices, pension funds, REITS ect] you will have had to work at some of the larger firms to cut your teeth and they do care where you went to school.

In 2002 I was 19 and invested $50,000 I had saved to purchase a 5 unit apartment building across for Eastern Michigan Universities Business School.  

Trust me, my student loan is plenty for me!

I hope to move full time into real estate after this school year.

Here is the breakdown35% payment history- How reliable you are, late payments kill you30% amounts owed - How much you owe and how much credit you have available.15% length of history- How long have you had credit. longer the better10% new credit- older accounts better they show reliability.10% types of credit - student loans, medical bills, credit cards, car loans

Removed all tenants, added 2 bedrooms and a bathroom overall, redid kitchens / baths / flooring, all on a 0% apr credit card.Rented out to a new group of students for $4500 for the entire building, refinanced at a new higher appraised value.

We rent only to students per room.

I'm a perpetual student and always wanting to learn too.

The guy turned out to be 100% just old school... 2B worth company, no site, no social, nothing.
