College isin't so bad - you might even be able to negogiate going part-time so you can focus your other time on working / building connections.If you are focused on real estate, maybe choose a career that you feel will advance you in your real estate career.You mention wanting to give your parents money to show your appreciation.

Since you have mentioned cash flow is a big part of your goals - have you thought about private lending?

It sounded like the way you were writing that you might be doing a lot of online research and sending out offers, but since you mentioned an agent, I wanted to check.Are you getting enough reps seeing houses to know what your offer prices should be?
