As for your studies I think the most valuable skills will be in finance and accounting type classes as it will aid you in analyzing and underwriting deals.

I guess overall I would have a declared major in finance, but at the advanced level you will have to take classes like corporate budgeting and security analysis that will be irrelevant to you.

I guarantee while you are sitting in your infiniti pool, the high priced Cali market will be the last thing on your mind!

I have a BS in Finance from a Big Ten school and all I ever used it for was 11 miserable months at an entry level job, I've worked for myself ever since then.

Some young people are very educated in finances and can count money: there are plenty of reasons to rent vs buy.4.

Nonsense.Nobody brands bandits -- unless they want thousands of dollars in fines.

Otherwise I'll be getting a job in finance for at least a few years and probably reading "Weekend Millionaire."

If 5k buys the whole property we have 84.95% for appreciation return, and cf is 9183.60/5000=183.67% and 171.04% adjusted.Now look at 0 down ($1 just so we can have something other than infinity)Appreciation gives us 8206.86/1 = 820686% and 506.52% adjusted for 1 year vs 5.Cash flow is 1200/1 =120000% adjsuted to 114652.53% for inflation.Interestingly, there is no way to discount the price enough to have that same rate of return.

I thought the hallways could have been made wider as they looked small walking down towards the rooms.What about matching the driveway to the roof top or some kind of texture on the drive way?

@Nicholas Morgan You start with $0 and end up with a cash pile of $5,500 and a cash flow of $78/month - an ROI of infinity is by far the best return you can get.
