You can however later on choose to get your real estate license to add as an additional tool to your investing go-go gadget belt....but I would wait for now.

I am a bit of a gadget guy.John CoreyI like your choice of software.

Fancy cars, expensive gadgets, trips, clothes etc. just don't do anything for me.

Consumers wait to update electronic gadgets when the economy is down.

It's nuts that jobless (or low-earning) college kids are buying iPhones/iPads/gadgets, summer vacations to Brazil, designer clothes, high-end makeup/crap/haircuts, going out partying and to pricey clubs, etc. all they while they have low-income (or no income) and are living off student loans delaying their debt to future years.

In the meantime, avoid turd tenants, don't over-improve, and don't buy things that drop in value like cars, coffees and the latest tech gadgets.  

Driving a new car is no different than taking vacations or buying electronic gadgets.

I'd also like to suggest:  a big enough kitchen & common areas (kitchen, living & dining room) that y'all don't get right under each other's feet too much, decent closet space & storage, an extra bathroom would be great (at least a 1/2 bath - gives you better value already built-in .... bathrooms are an extremely pricey addition), off-street parking (many cities have ordinances against parking on lawns), updated electcicals (incl. plenty power for all the electrical gadgets that students have nowadays and make sure it's on the right side of the tracks (so to speak) = safest area ....  

Have you ever met someone that bought a weight loss gadget from an infomercial that was skinny That's what these No/Low money down strategies are.
