@Cody Adams, over the past 7 years, I've had close to 25% of the students who take my Real Estate Investing course at the University of Toronto, tell me that they did the boot camp or extended (expensive!)

I live and work in Salem, Oregon now but I grew up in Silsbee, Texas and graduated from Lamar University in 1995.

not sure if there would be enough demand.. and of course most syndications you need to be accredited and many times accredited folks simply don't need help they did not become accredited because they cant look and anaylys a deal but many are also busy and would like to pay a small fee to have it all summarized for them   what do you think ?

Your opportunities will increase (choices of syndications) if you are accredited investor. 

Universities & employment can also be added to your list. 

Christopher,The answer to this question is pretty much universal.

My plan to getting started is to buying a single family house 4-6 bedrooms for around 200-300k  and renting out each bedroom for around 600 a month the area I'm looking to invest in has 2 major university's and 1 major collage so id be looking to rent to students , I do not have enough money to put down a conventional 20% down payment for an investment property so id have to put down 5-10 percent down with Mortgage insurance and put it as my primary residence but realistically I wouldn't be living there. 

Here I went to school, found my first job at 14, and went to college at Stony Brook University.

Mailbox money so to speak.There are some restrictions, such as being an accredited investor, minimum purchase amounts ($100k for 1031), and illiquidity, but they do purchase higher class assets.

I first had the itch for real estate when I was 19 in my second year of university.
