I have had a Real Estate License which yes I went to school for it, as well as a degree in Business Management and another degree in Accounting/Bookkeeping.

From my short experience in the insurance industry (5 years), we had a guy that hit some one while drunk (2nd (alleged) DWI accident), another fell asleep at the wheel and hit some one head on, some one hit a full school bus that sent everyone to the hospital, some one flip a car and a passenger fell out of the sun roof and the car landed on them.

I hate that suggestion for new people, because keeping yourself out of trouble and actually providing something of value as a wholesaler is not beginner's work.I suggest you learn, read, bide your time and wait until you get out of school and get a job.

I was a school counselor but am now self employed so proving income is also a challenge.

I am 22 and out of school.

If you stick with real estate through high school and college, you can can say you've been in and around the business for 10 years by the time you are 25.

As back up case for newbie and future appreciate, I am looking for a single family house in very good or top rate public school (Blue Ribbon honor school) in Cary, NC.

We have managed to stay here for 14 years so far, and while we don't intend to retire here, the area has been good financially and we are happy with the schools for our kids.

I've read two of Robert Kiyosaki's books (I'm sure plenty of people have mixed views on him and the books), I've learned as much as I could from several mentors, and I'm constantly thinking of breaking from the mundane cycle of going to school to get a career, and I'm hoping to own my own business someday.

I understand looking at schools and crime rates and to avoid war zones but is there anything else that should be considered?
