But since my spouse and I have the same debt other that student loans, which is minimal, our monthly debt pretty much stays the same, but our monthly income doubles almost.

We are both students and only working part time.

Hello,I'm in a position where I have low debt because I have high utilization from my student loans that I am trying to catch up payments on.

Our professions are not related to real state or construction, and I never had to constitute any kind of company in the USA (did back in Spain, but laws have nothing similar).After much reading, the only two things I'm starting to get clear are: that buying and selling within a year has very different tax implications than living in your home for a few years then selling it, and that I should find at least a good CPA and possibly a good lawyer specialized in real state to figure out how to structure this to minimize taxes and liabilities.At the end of the day, my goal remains the same that I want to end up with a couple of investment properties, don't necessarily need to base my retirement on that, but just to not have all my eggs in the same basket.

@Kurt Defenbaugh you can definitely use paper losses from LLC's you are a member off to offset active income from your profession.

With so many investment avenues in the multifamily space what niche have experienced investors had most sucesss with?

I am a 20 year old college student interested in getting involved with real estate investing.

The general idea is that mastering anything - from your profession to your relationships or hobbies is a continuous path, and never a destination.

There is really no job base or student base to support the high rents. 

I am a 20 year old college student and I have been interested in investing in real estate for almost 2 years now.
