Should I just save that additional tuition money and put that towards my first investment? 

We have a decent amount saved up and have thought about doing a out of state deal but might be good to do a deal near me to start out. 

A good tax professional can save you more than they charge you. 

if you have no money to put down then you're not ready.here's what i would do instead:-save up enough until you have enough money to do a live-in flip-do a live-in fliphope that helps

Do the math and you'll see it doesn't make sense.The best way to invest: increase earnings, reduce expenses, and save.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.Consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for an accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Perhaps they want long term income for their retirement and ultimately their heirs.

I'll also be attending the Momentum2025 virtual event next month.I'm trying to take as much action as possible but I know the ultimate action would be to close on my first rental property.Here is my question for everyone. 

Don't follow a strategy only to save on taxes.

@Jermaine Wesley thanks for sharing, as a retired Navy veteran I am stoked to see that you Mr deployment savings were supercharged by this project!
