One issue is the schools are terrible (but getting better, especially in just the past couple years).  

My concern is that I am planning on applying and attending law school after this deployment.

I will be attending graduate school at Ohio State next fall and am looking to start my investing journey!

For a lot of us professionals our highest and best use or hourly rate for that matter is going to our day jobs and doing what we spent all these years going to school to do than messing around building relationships and trying to run remote rentals (especially those in Seattle, California, Hawaii).

Some tax preparers go through an afternoon training and may have just a high school education.

Knowing an area very well (market trends, schools, new developments etc.) can be very beneficial for you and your investments.

I’ve managed to take a break from school to pursue investing.ive been managed to close over 100k + any advice for a youth investor on growth/scaling and not going broke.

I have a hefty down payment saved up and good credit score to buy but I do have a part time job currently while attending school.

The fun part is that I teach at an art school where I have some really scary looking, tatted and pierced co-workers who happen to have MA's in theater and wouldn't mind a fun gig over the summer. 

I would ideally buy a triplex or fourplex but it might be tough to find in the neighborhoods I'm considering.What Kirk said is true, but aren't you in school (grad school at that)?
