I am a current college student and gained interest in real estate as I am working on a project focused on finding ways to expand opportunities for real estate investors.

The statistics are clear, college is still a great investment.

However, as curiosity prodded, I looked into the degree that it is prohibitively expensive to consider just filing as a security anyway, irrespective of the pros and cons.Basically, I searched for "what are the costs for registering a security with the SEC" as well as "what are the costs for registering a syndication as a security with the SEC"Most the results produced explained something to the extent that the fee was about 150 bucks per million offered, without any other information on what would validate the explanation that filing a syndication as a security is prohibitively expensive.

Maybe even college housing.I would think that maybe splitting it into two units might be more profitable.

Find a stable job, attend college, or work part-time and do both.

While I don’t know their program or them, I’ve yet to see a mentorship program that cuts the time necessary to obtain the knowledge required; that has a monopoly on any tactic, strategy or technique that’s not common knowledge; and or that provides any ongoing “help” that’s anything but “basic”.If you’re not well versed in principles, finance, and law, either read books on these, attend college classes, or take a course(s) leading to real estate broker (salesman) licensure.  

If you have a college nearby I would suggest recruiting some interns. 

How long have you been in college and what’s your major? 

HI @Kayla M.Kudos to you for thinking about real estate investing while being in college!

That being said, there’s nothing wrong with investing in blue collar areas but I prefer to invest in the ones that have a higher degree of owner occupancy because the residents of those areas care about where they live and have deeper roots.
