Hi all, I am 17 and about to start college in the fall semester.

Doesn’t really matter, markets are falling, hang onto your cash, and buy cheap after the markets plummet 

^This.If a title company's email gets breached (for example), a crook could send out a bunch of these and maybe get somebody to fall for it.

While REITs can be great investments during a strong market, they are highly correlated to the stock market, tend to rise and fall with the economy, and their value can be impacted by events that have nothing to do with real estate.

If the market falls 3% as it has in the past year, your retirement income would still increase as long as your investment horizon is no longer than 33 years.

Don't fall victim like a lot of people who use owner occupant taxes to calculate and gets crushed the next year when the bill comes back 50% higher.Hope the numbers still work after everything and you're able to secure your first deal!

I'm sure rentals would be summer heavy and again at Christmas with big lull's in spring and fall

I lived at a condo where many owners fall behind on HOA fees where they have to impose special assessments to cover needed repairs, gas for heating where they were six months behind and the utility threatened shutoff.4.

HML is for sure not my first option but a fall back.

Basically, the loan should remain in the sellers name, and you need to be 100% certain the payments will never fall behind.
