The tenants get to see a friendly face, and he gets a nice tip and I don't have to worry about it.BTW waterpik makes a nice showerhead with a wand for $40.

Since you are just graduating college you may already realize that it's not what you know, but who you know (as a personal note, I had college friends that were barely passing their classes however they ended up with really good paying jobs due to "who they knew").

I WILL keep this short.I am 23 years old, me and my Dad have been investing together over the past 4 years in real-estate....we just closed on our first deal which was:275k Home which we bought for 255k......That home is nice but does not cash flow and just pays the mortgage. 

The agent in Raleigh pointed out that the jobs coming into Columbus, in particular at the 20B chip plant would likely be more blue collar jobs vs. the higher paid tech work that is entering into Raleigh, which I believe she said was growing by 5,000 residents per...month? 

Nice!

Most agents are self employed and EVERY agent has other obligations in life whether that be a w2 job, children, etc.

I got an expensive schooling but I was able to put all of those lessons to work down the road to build a pretty nice little empire. 

I'm not trying to do that Accountant job on my taxes, I just want to understand the process.Thank you. 

@Joe S. has the correct answer, but I will modify it slightly - "choose a degree that makes good money" but also that you are interested in or enjoy the field of study - I'd rather make less and enjoy what I do for my W-2 job than make a bit more and be miserable.   

For example last week I saw people buying lots in a nice community.
