Thankfully I’ll be graduating without any real student loan debt but I’ve worked mostly unpaid internships so I don’t have a real sizable amount of cash to begin investing.Ideally I’d love to start small and continually reinvest my profits real until it is sustainable enough that I can make it my full-time career, hopefully cultivating it to something substantial.I am posting to try and get some suggestions or connections from people that were in my shoes to try and put together a plan to carry out this goal of mine.

5% above inflation is totally reasonable and certainly not even sustainable long term. 

It is theoretically infinitely sustainable.

@Greg M.Yep, I think heading east makes much more sense for a sustainable source of BRRRR deals.

Not a lot of value added, but value sustained at least.

I'm particularly interested in talking with others about real-estate development projects, sustainability, small, walkable middle range housing on unusual pieces of empty land.

At that point I figure it would be easy to just buy a couple properties a year with that money and the business would be completely self sustaining, which is the ultimate goal.  

Im pretty curious to see the final numbers and what will be finished on the property and how it will be sustained. 

Is this the start of a gradual but sustained broader recession in the overall housing market?

Both of your comments resonate.
