The problem I'm having is that I'm currently graduating college, and I don't have much established credit.

I am a college student doing an internship at a Boston based real estate investment firm that is offering a condo conversion program, and I am wondering how people feel about a fully hands-off real estate investment.

Location is good, walking distance to a college, but yet still in a quiet neighborhood.

Hello guys,I am looking at purchasing 1 of 4 quad-plexes in a small college town.Although the target demographics are not from the college, it is in the lower-income neighborhood.

So, should I take the usual route and go to college and study business, or accounting, or medicine, or something else I don't really care about in order to get a moderate-paying job, go out to the suburbs and get a cute little house and get a 9 to 5 job doing crap I don't care about, then come home and watch tv and go to sleep, then wake up the next morning and do it all over again?

I just added all the expenses from last year to make it easier on here.This building in on a main street in a downtown area of a up and coming college town.

My best friend who has a better job and lives in a cheaper area is making a killing from the real estate investing books I gave him back in high school/college.

Yes, Flipper, we're in Cali.The duplex is in a college town.

I would like to add that my credit is not great (thanks to not thinking about the consequences of using credit cards while I was in college) and student loan debt.

However, I am investigating using it for international call purposes in the near future.
