2) Investing in college towns?

I got out of college and bought that house right amidst the GFC, so that definitely shapes how I think about things. 

So here’s my situation..I am about to graduate college and will be working in my field full time in order to be approved for a mortgage and financing to pay for renovations for my first flip.

There is actually one tomorrow at Bellevue college if you can swing it on such short notice.   

Is college truly the best path?

During my junior year in college I learned about being a Real Estate Investor.

I am open to any suggestions or tips on what I can do today while in college to start out ahead.

I'm currently a senior in college and plan on graduating in the Spring with a degree in finance, and am currently still living with my parents and have no major expenses outside of paying for my car insurance and phone bill (Lucky, I know).Given all the experience and knowledge on this site, I was just curious what would be the best way for me to start out?

I am a 20 year old aspiring real estate investor and I am currently a sophomore in college studying accounting.

I do get your complaint but in fact I was a year in and year out honor student and graduated college at the top of my class so not all contractors are dummies.
