I am a recent college graduate who worked in finance immediately after college, but knew that real estate was the path I wanted to eventually go down.

Sitting on a college degree of software development, I concur. 

I have always been interested in real estate and engaged in BiggerPockets loosely while in college at West Virginia University.

My name is Michael and I own some student housing near a local college.

I focus on college towns and resort towns.   

I took the licensing course while in college and havent looked back since.

If you are worried about the price then the program isn't for you  but just consider you spend 4 years and about 50 to 100k+ to get a degree that pays you around 75k.

I’m 25 years old, recently married, and hold a degree in Computer Science.

For instance, Berea is a charming college town, but the combination of local taxes and less favorable price-to-rent ratios makes it less appealing for investment compared to other areas in the state.Agree here! 

Last month, I pulled the trigger on getting my first real estate property ever and decided to go with a 4 bed, 2 bath new construction to limit all the variables involved since I am still in college.
