I will be transferring from a community college to the University of Houston later in the spring and have about $7,000 saved up and hope to have $10,000 or $9,000 by the end of this year.

It often even requires you to qualify as an accredited investor. 

On the contrary, if you invest in a different region, say North Philly that has very low purchase price, close to Temple University that you can rent it out and most importantly, the property and area have room to grow.

My fiancee and I (our wedding is postponed due to COVID-19) both work full-time at a university and we bought our first single family property (turnkey) in Indiana (just north-east of Indianapolis) earlier this year.

I suppose that makes me an accredited investor.

If you are looking for passive, and are accredited, 506investorgroup.com is another good resource to help learn about opportunities, hear other's experiences with operators, etc.

Another huge plus is the number of large universities in a small area University of Utah, BYU, UVU and Weber State are all along the I-15 freeway about an hour apart.

Hi I was curious if anyone knows about universities that offer degrees in Real estate or perhaps real estate finance?

I am currently a Drexel University student and will be graduating next year.

Look to CBRE, Colliers, Transwestern or someone CCIM or SIOR accredited.
