Me and a buddy of mine are looking to get our real estate licenses within the next few months!

My buddy is only 25 years old too....  

Best of luck buddy. 

good for yougo make a deal happen-if you are ready to do this then get out there kick the tires and make a dealI imagine that if you are in school you have enough buddys that got your backfind a deal that makes sense and may need alittle work- no major renovations- find the owner and carve out a deal you can afford-1000 down 1000 a month for one year then finance on a term note due in five years or something creativenever be afraid to ask for something different than the mortgage game 4% for 30 years- you are the buyer that makes you the boss or grantor to the debtor, that's why they are selling they are in debt and need outenjoy

In addition, I had a buddy of mine install a new furnace and central air system (utilizing the original duct work from the forced hot air system).

I mean if my buddy jeff did not bring enough money for a sale he wanted it was not uncommon for me to hand him 100 200k cashiers check he would use .. then he would buy me lunch and go to his bank and repay me.. 

BTW @Marty TrueMy buddy that buys all these houses just put one under contract that was in the MLS.

My buddy wrapped his entire truck and didn't get many calls.

Trying to help a buddy out.

Also having a buddy to help hold the tape, another set of eyes and to curse at can be helpful.Ignore most of this note - either get a survey or walkaway if you think it will be a problem.
