Treat people with respect and don't forget they are paying you the largest single expense they have every month.When I start to get jaded or loose sight of the above, I think about somebody I love, and remind myself to treat my tenants the way I would want that loved one treated in that situation.

@Jade Vaughn For sure!

As far as the real estate interest goes, now is the time to seek out people well known in the industry as I guarantee you that they are much more willing to talk to a bright college student versus some guy off the street.Also what is stopping you from pursuing real estate while you attend college - if you dont take advtange of the clubs and orgs, then you can put all of your free time towards real estate and maybe make your college tuition up in investments (highly difficult but possible).I do have a BS and an MBA so I may be a little jaded...

@Jade Vaughn I think it is always a good idea to create an LLC!

I ask for or locate references, because referrals can make a world of difference in how someone works with (and for) you.We've all been burned, and we've all come out a little more jaded with the world because of it, I think, lol!
