In this area, that is over 100K in cash which could easily take 5-10 years to accumulate with other debts like student loans, car loans, rent, marriage, etc to pay for even if I do slim my spending down to just the necessities.

With student loans and other expenses, I was hesitant to take the risk.So, with the BiggerPockets and my independent research, I see that wholesaling is a great way to gain capital, which would help with my startup.

Small collections can be ok especially medical or student debt.If someone has had a major credit issue like bankruptcy or foreclosure just make sure there is a plausible story.

I'm currently a college student finishing up my last year in Marketing.

hello everyone i am a 20 year old full time college student trying to succeed like many others.really interested on investing real state i know there are many ways and have been reading and researching about it. have gotten to the point where i want to put it to practice. the problem i have that is making me hesitate is how do i do this considering i have no money and no credit. what could be the easiest way or safest way for me to start?

lol)- Currently working full time in investment real estateMy Current Portfolio:- Consists of several student homes that generate 5x - 10x the cash flow that a traditional rental would- A couple homes were purchased myself through FHA leapfrog and refi (house hacking is the best!)

I was actually thinking about expanding into redlands eventually for student housing.  

Im a college student trying to learn as much as I can.

Those new student apartments are asking a very high price for rent, so if your rental is priced right you will certainly get a lot of attention from students.
