I am 4.5 yrs out of college and work with a telecom real estate fund and have always wanted to invest in real estate on my own.

You should be looking for an area that you may want to invest in, live in, work in, and that supports your post-college life the way you want.

What year in college do most students at Rutgers start looking for housing (sophomore, junior, senior)? 

Alternatively, inheriting the property and doing an internal buyout (where your wife and you buy out the other heirs) might allow you to bypass some typical closing costs.Renovating and Flipping: If the home is in need of significant repairs, getting an accurate estimate of the renovation costs before making an offer is critical.

@Mike H.Property Taxes do hit hard here in College Station Texas, 2% per year or $450/month on that $270k house.

I still consider myself fairly new to this world, and I can say with 100% certainly the biggest battles are the internal ones, and this industry has given the pleasure of being forced to address several of my short comings, and continue to address them all the time.I find I get the most emotional when I get reactionary, so my constant focus is around honing and suppressing reaction as a whole both internal and external.Thanks for taking the time to write this up.

In a survey of high school and college-age people by software firm Jobber last year, 75 percent said they would be interested in vocational schools offering paid, on-the-job training (WSJ).”And this idea of blue collar career interest was recently discussed on the All In Podcast, which includes a group of prominent Venture Capitalists.

I am a college student set to graduate within the next year, and I’m eager to dive into the world of real estate investment.

Go where your income to cost of living is the greatest ratio, hands down.A good portion of my borrowers buy out of state and use property management to deal with the properties.If your in college you've gotta increase your ACTIVE income, before you get passive income.
