I am not his student.

I don't need a mentor.What I want is his REO tapes.Armando buys bulk REO houses for pennies on the dollar and is going to sell them to his mentor students in my area for $20k apiece.

Cash is a big prob, most students have loan payments.

When on campus housing isn't available, students are left with no alternative but to seek other choices.

This is the reason anyone goes into work everyday no matter what profession they have chosen.

RC, I'm also new to investing (more like student) but I've found a great company to help me with my real estate education.

In April I was pretty much just a career student with no academic answer to how to make it in the real world.

My partner and I were looking at a house where the homeowner had gotten really weird with renovations -- walling off rooms to make two small useless rooms, taking down a wall to make one large useless room, and adding a second story addition that could only be accessed by a tiny spiral stair case.When we said this would be tough to rent out, she said: "Oh don't worry, you can always throw in a bunch of college students."

Should I stay away from section 8 because this house is in a "student ghetto" area?

I am a part time college student slowly but surely on his way to getting an associates in business administration.
