On my journey little comments/insights sometimes have BIG consequences.

We are trying to look at numbers, I understand that cap rate is not all it is cracked up to be, but what are properties like this trading for on average right now?

Will this have the same tax benefits/consequences as if this was one single address with 5 units? 

so i started posting on this website about a month ago and i was posting alot for about a month. but i decided to step back to give me some time to asess my goals and figure out a game plan for how i wanted to get into investing. im going intio my sophmore year in college and have about 5000$ to my name right now. my plan is to save up money while in college and invest in re once im out. ( ill be 21) my goal is to have about 20-30 k in liquid money at the end of this period. my goal is to make this money through jobs that are going to give me some type of experience that will help me out as an investor/ landlord. any jobs i can get working with other investors or jobs that where i can learn handyman type skills is what im going for. im also thinking about trying to do some day trading but i havent settled on that yet.i know this forum is big on acting quickly and not procratinating but the way i see it i am very young and i see this as all part of the big picture of my investment plan. also im pretty much 100% sure i want to make a career out of rei for a variety of reasons and im not worried about losing interest or anything like that.that being said i have 2 questions 1) any commentarym, criticism, ideas for my plan2) i have been thinking about getting my realtors license in the next two years. is there anyways that a realtors license can be a hinderance to a re investor. any legal restrictions that realtors have that make it hard for them to invest?

I was waiting for it to trade at $3 so I can buy some and experiment.

im a computer programmer by trade, so Im always looking at ways to automate things.

There are trade offs.

Consequently, I had very few wholesaling questions, if any at all.

We started out by buying light fixers and lived in them while doing the house up, and then traded up to the next.
