Purchasing a property for your child while they attend college can be a strategic investment and a great way to provide them with stable housing.

My name is Lucas and I am currently a college student in Boston.

Purchase price: $189,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Mid-term rental property in a college town.

OP not sure what your missing and the degree to which your missing.   1.  

Admittedly, I am not one that typically finds paid mentorship very valuable, but I also respect that my degree is in business with a focus on real estate, and my first job out of college was in real estate (so it is a little hard for me to take my 20 yrs of knowledge and rewind it to try to view mentors from a completely fresh lens).A couple points: I view mentors, especially these expensive ones as a catch-22. 

., get a higher paying job, work two jobs, go to trade school, get a higher paying degree, live in affordable area, etc...these are things that most of us did).

I have a degree in civil engineering and 15 years construction, site development, and short term rental experience and am looking to shift my focus/career towards real estate development, mainly raw land although if there were a house on the property could include fix and flip.I plan to purchase 50+ acres of raw land with 1000+ feet of road frontage, have it surveyed and split into separate 5+ acre parcels for re-listing.

@Austin BrummettCongrats on graduating from college soon.

I have an MBA degree, and I can swing a hammer.

@Jordan Brown Welcome and congrats on saving that much in college!
