You know as I was growing up I didn't have rich parents. 

I was trying to explain the stock market is the real casino, but I don't know how to start  Has she read the book - Rich Dad Poor Dad...? 

After you do this you want to attack the student loans (depending on interest rate) if all your student loans are 3-4 percent then maybe you can keep those longer, if they’re 6 percent or above you want to pay those off.Real estate investing is not some a magical get rich quick scheme.

Thank you @Bruce Lee, unfortunately Western Gold does not cover the states I am looking for.I appreciate the additional feedback about REIguard, @Rich Kniss!

@Steve Vaughan  I think the reason they do is for some reason they believe what they hear that the way to buy rental real estate when you have no money.. is to wholesale first get some money then buy rentals.when in fact wholesaling or buying and selling deals quickly in any volume takes a lot of skill.. significant marketing capital.. and most of the time they are breaking the real estate laws.And you have all sorts of HOW TO trainers selling their boot camps and of course they lead with you too can get rich with NON of your own money..theoreticaly that's true.. but not really reality in the real world..not to mention some areas simply do not have enough distressed real estate to make it viable at all.other areas like urban cores and cities that have seen hard times much easier to at least snag low value assets no one wants.. much of this is done is rough areas.Granted there are always hoarder houses and other fixer types in the nicer areas but its uber competitive for them.. and generally there is not enough profit in them to feed all the mouths.the wholesaler the buyer the buyer having to use hard money the contractor sales cost etc.. that in my mind is why you see so many post about HEY wholesalers don't know what they are doing..

@Eric Hardt and @Rich Nordstrom that is what I have been hearing- the school is not doing well.  

It's good you're approaching real estate with a long-term mentality and taking your time to orient yourself rather than dive in seeking quick riches.

Could travel the world pretty easy on that.You could put $750k into a $2.5mil apartment complex and again, go travel the world, or be a bum, or just keep working, pay your 4K rent in SF and get rich faster.
