(I'm renting to students, typically no pets)Other thoughts? 

I'm a mechanical engineering student at the University of Kentucky with experience in managing properties near state street.  

Greetings to All,I am a former elementary school teacher, originally from Texas, but I have lived in Maryland for the last 15 years with my husband and 14-year-old daughter.  

Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and all the cash buyers (rehabbers) you will need.Consider checking out HUD homes for small multi's owner occupied gets first crack.You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing.

I am currently a mechanical engineering student and I am very interested in getting into real estate.

There were 4 students paying $500 for each room and I paid utilities.

I know it takes money to make money, but for someone like me with terrible credit, student loan debts, and no saved money, is there a way I can get funds to start wholesaling, flipping, or renting houses?
