One my brother finishes school, I may sell that home and turn the equity into 1-2 more houses. 

For the past 9 years I have owned a rental property in Philly in a neighborhood that college, graduate students, and young adults love.

or are you just going to school in Germany, and are investing somewhere in the states?

Luckily my wife has been saving for about 25 years and even though school now is pretty expensive we are still getting by.  

Looked into it once before but for the rate they gave me I didn't like the fact that I lost some capabilities my current loan servicer offers like putting my loans on hold if I go back to school (and subsidized loans' interest being covered during the time).

I am in the process of finishing real estate school to get a better understanding of what I'm getting into. 

I thought about taking a course that people wanting to be agents take just to get the education, but then was told those school are only exam prep schools... and won't necessarily give me the education I'm looking for.  

Neighborhood, school districts etc etc)How can you tell if it's a buyers or sellers market?

I recently moved to Arlington, VA after graduating university and starting a career in the financial services industry.  

I was born and raised in the greater Los Angeles area and graduated from university in 2012.
