Go to a cheaper college and get student aid, work and pay as you go so you are near debt free at the end...probably worth it.The college experience is irreplaceable..... you learn and grow in so many ways...... is that experience worth 100-200k.....NO.... so you better get more out of it than "the college life"....College doesn't guarantee success and prosperity.....not even close....and you can be highly successful without going to college.....its more the person, than it is the " I went to college" aspect... seen plenty go to college and they now do nothing and struggle at life....and others that learned in the  "real world" and are kicking ***....So there is no right/wrong answer........

The only Rite Aid in this town is directly across the street from the only Walgreens, so that shouldn't affect their decision.

This has definitely aided me during introductions to brokers, mtg brokers, property mgmt companies, and other potential team members.   

I am a local investor and also work in healthcare.

We were initially thinking much smaller and looking at rental properties as a side stream of passive income to supplement our full-time jobs in healthcare (me) and architecture (hubby).

We are in our late 40's and both work FT (healthcare and marketing). at this point we are looking to scale and grow our net worth and eventually cash flow.

I started in Health Care IT, doing project management.

My parents gave me the money for my rent, one roommate worked, and the other used student loan/aid money.

Healthcare has a lot of obvious core problems, and this is not exempt by any means, however, would love to use my influence and ability to try and service a need. 

Pittsburgh PA is a city on the rise due in part to the technology boom in our area, a strong established healthcare system, A Mayor and our County Executive who are very proactive on initiatives that are attracting big businesses, a strong recovering economy and the continuation of new construction.
