There are 2 Golden rules to REI, and GR#1 is "Never, under any circumstances, for any reason, ever, spend you seed money (that's your cash). 

You still haven't said one thing that you bring to the table (outside of seed capital) that every...single...other...person...says that they have as well. 

“The day you plant the seed is not the day you get the fruit.”

Beliefs about money being evil are deep seeded in our brains and reinforced daily by the media.

In addition, the formal education allowed me to get a decent paying job that provided the seed money that was the bases of all my investments. 

That could literally be from having seeds/stems or a roach in his car. 

A $42k Heloc from our house we lease optioned in CO was our seed capital. 

When you graduate you can pay those loans off and have seed money to buy more real estate by cash out refinancing or selling, OR do what I did and just make the monthly payments on those loans and invest in real estate which has a higher return than the interest rate on my student loans from undergrad....A degree should be your fall back plan.

"Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache, carries with it the Seed of an equivalent or greater Benefit."

When it comes to brass tacks, you will need to get employment of some type in order to gather enough seed money to be able to build a real estate portfolio.
