I'm currently an undergrad at Berkeley and was just wondering when some of you guys started out and how you financed your first property (esp. if you had just come out of college).

Adding that extra year to your undergrad, adds a lot of expenses, mainly from living expenses for the 5th year.   

I'd stick it out and graduate.About 3 yrs into an undergrad, I was the one hired out of 53 applicants at a local investment firm. 

I've been a researcher, visiting professor, mentor to undergrads and grad students at the University of Wisconsin.

My advice would be to finish your undergrad and you then have the option to work a steady W2 OR go out on a limb and take a stab at wholesaling while always having the option of returning to a steady job.

Undergrad in geology?

Against all conventional advise and wisdom, I only applied to one undergrad school, one grad program, and one district to work for.

I've learned more by doing than any 4 years of college undergrad has taught. 

Fantastic book for when I was in high school/undergrad to prepare me for life ahead and develop the investor’s mindset.Now...not so useful.

I lived in Austin for 7 yrs from 1982-89 finished undergrad and stayed on.
