I decided I would like to start a career as a real estate agent since I was open to any opportunity that allowed me to become more familiar with the industry and have the potential to earn more than I do now.At the time I started my RE class, I was a month into my fall semester and working part-time.

Assess the convenience of any potential investment property by considering typical walks to class, libraries, or—if applicable to your town—a downtown area (think shops, restaurants, or bars).Don’t expect tenants to sign long-term leases.Considering that the majority of renters will be students, tenant turnover will be high—undergraduates especially tend to change housing year to year, meaning renters who are willing to sign a lease over one year will be few and far-between.Instead, encourage lease “pass-downs”.One main concern in real estate investing is vacancies—a valid concern, especially in a college town, where the rental off-season between semesters will deplete the prospective rental pool.

I still have 3 semesters before I graduate and currently have only a few thousand in capital.

So I’m 20 in college and going into my final two semesters of college and I’m reading my first real estate book and I wanted to do the housing hacking route in West Virginia (that’s where I go to school and what’s the market like there?)

Okay so the college semester is coming up and I need to register for classes but I’m trying to get my real estate license and I don’t know what to do should I do either 1.college full time and real estate part time ?

It's also very close to Reed College, a $60K/semester school, so it would be a strong draw for wealthy visitors, campus tours/visiting parents, etc.Also- my primary job is an online merchant, selling on Amazon/Ebay and I require a large space for daily inventory/shipping prep.

So yes I have a W-2 job through the program but it is based on semester rotations so I only work one semester at a time, hence the issue.

I am in a co-op program which means I rotate between classes and in-field work each semester.

In the future, with a student rental, we should buy well before the spring semester is over--Dec through March.

For example, my 2/1 would normally rent for $600 per month, but once furnished and fully converted, I rent each room for $2,200 per semester or $8,800 total for one year (not counting the summer months).
