hello there I am a high school graduate ready to start college classes and recently the world of real estate investing has crossed through my journey to adult hood and I'm very interested in investing in real estate and learning more about it and how it can benefit me and my future.

If it is a college area then they might like the 4 bed options spread among roommates.

I lived in the 5th ward for two years after college as it was affordable...my truck was vandalized every six months, and I was in the nice south of I-10 area.I own several rentals in the Houston and larger metro area now - none are in the 5th ward.

If those don't work, check to see who is pulling permits in your town as that is typically a sign of legitimacy if they go to the trouble of doing it right.    

I graduated from college with a business degree that emphasized real estate.  

I was also in banking right out of college.

You will need some drawings for permitting. 

That being said you can do it for much less than the cost of a semester at a local community college.

I got a college degree in business and a broker license in 1980.  

We would live 3 blocks from the university so college students would definitely be our market.
