I am a 19 year old college student currently studying business administration at the University of North Georgia looking to get as active as I can in real estate investing considering the fact that I an a newbie in the REI world.

I'm told that FHA changed some regulations and it now accounts 1% of my student loan ($400/month).

So many real estate investors have found that student housing is the way to go as have IHowever....what happens when a large commercial company decides to building a crap ton of student housing around your area?

This is my first post but ive been a pro member for about a month so my active participation is long overdue.

I was hopping to make it through the year living off my student loan but it's not looking like it's going to work out that way.

Taken to the extreme just to give you an idea: When it's a VA loan buyer, I get excited, because I can start paying off car loans, student loans, credit card debt, refunding Earnest Money, paying for the appraisal, etc, with the extra money!

So for that reason this is where your sponsor due dillegence comes in play and what's has been their track record.Of course the normal warning that past performance is not indicative of future performance applies ;).In many of the platforms you will see repeat sponsors and some of it is just learning where I participated in a previous deal with the sponsor and trust them. 

Based on my current living situation (flexible with roommates and no family yet), my debt to income ratio (a lot of student loans and a truck loan), my liquid cash, and the housing market in Austin, I'm hoping for some advice.

Sometimes deal flow and active participation is worth a lot for someone who wants to remain truly passive and they Should be prepared to pay for that convenience or they can buy some public securities.

and of course a lot of student rentals.
